Welcome

Dear Leopard Nation,

It’s about time to start a brand new year with ongoing construction that includes additional classrooms, new media center, new cafeteria and commons, new agriculture classrooms and shop, and several athletic facility upgrades. As we reflect and celebrate the great accomplishments of the Lorena High School 2013-14 school year, we can clearly show that our school’s academic performance continues to rise. The academic successes of our students with the support of our teachers have put the school on a path toward extraordinary. Our students did a phenomenal job on our EOC assessments by having some of the highest scores in the area and among the state.  The year was filled with great accomplishments by many of our student groups. 

We are excited about the new opportunities that 2014-15 will bring for LHS and all of its students.  Please make plans to attend our two orientation times on August 27.  We will be passing out class schedules and discussing important issues in regards to the start of school and construction.  "Fish Camp" for the incoming 9th graders will be on August 29 from 10-12.  The first day of school will be on Tuesday, September 2.

We look forward to another great year and remember - It's a Great Day to be a Leopard!!!!
