Dear LHS Families,

It has been over a year since our world turned upside down and our daily interactions changed dramatically. As more and more people become eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine we can feel the hope that it brings and we are excitedly preparing for the next stage of our school year. As the tides begin to change we have many important dates coming up:  
  • April 13th: ACT opportunity for juniors at LHS (all other students have an asynchronous day)
  • April 20th:  all students and all classes will begin to follow our new schedule that we will follow for the rest of this year.

LHS College and Career Center
As we roll into spring and season of adjustments here at LHS, we wanted to make you all aware we too are planning to adjust in the college and career center. We are working right now with students and staff to determine what makes the most sense for support during this transition. 

We will keep you updated as we roll out our new plan. 

This past month we continued to focus on ACT at a Junior level, while also supporting our Sophomores in some post high school planning. 10th graders took a brief break from their World History class to explore our LHS Post High School Exploration Website- English version and Spanish version. We encourage all families to click into the site and explore.
