Dear LMS and LHS Community:
College Decision Day: As seniors transition to the next chapter in their lives, we invite them to join us in our LHS College Decision Day event on Monday May 1st . We are asking seniors to wear a piece of clothing that represents their college choice. LHS staff are also asked to wear a piece of clothing that represents their college alma mater. As a way to honor our seniors a large map has been posted in front of the Counseling Office and will be updated to show where all our seniors have selected to attend next year.
