Halloween is in the air!

As you enter the high school office you will notice some pumpkins to the right.  Nancy Wood had the idea to add some October spirit to the office.  She bought some pumpkins and asked Mrs. Rosas and the art department to paint them using our campus theme.  The picture to the right is the result.  A big thanks to Nancy Wood for taking the initiative to be creative!

Staff member of the month!

Each month a staff member is recognized at a faculty meeting for “Exceeding Expectations”.   LHS employees may be  nominated by students, colleagues, and parents to be placed in a drawing to receive a token of appreciation. 

This month’s recipient was Debbie Voiles.  Debbie was nominated by Mrs. Swepston for regularly going above and beyond the call of duty to be helpful.  The person who nominated the winner has an opportunity to talk about the nomination during the presentation at a faculty meeting.   Mrs. Swepston said Mrs. Voiles is always patient with her and willing to help her with whatever whenever.
