Huge shoutout and thank you to Talk of the Town Nutrition off Ashley St for helping us kick off the school year! 🥤⚡
Their door prize donations brought so much excitement to our first faculty meeting drawing. Teachers run on dedication, passion, and—let’s be honest—great nutrition and energy! Drop by their Ashley St location to grab your favorite loaded tea or smoothie and show them some love.

Just a reminder as we gear up for the new school year- LHS has a no-tolerance policy on vapes. Any student in possession of an electronic smoking device on school property or at any school-sponsored event will receive school discipline and possible criminal charges. Remember, V is for Viking not for vaping!

🎒 Best Surprise Ever! 🎖️
During third block, we had a very special visitor at LHS!
After a lengthy deployment overseas, Major Fry decided to give his son the surprise of a lifetime. Logan thought it was just another Thursday of algebra and essays, but his dad had other plans!
We are so incredibly grateful for the service and sacrifice of our military families. Welcome home, Major Fry! Thank you for everything you do. 🇺🇸✨

Mrs. Fletcher’s class is going wild for research! 🤖🦊
After reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, our students dove into the natural world to create their own animal research presentations. We focused on student choice, and the results were incredible!
From traditional handmade posters and detailed slide decks to sleek Canva designs and even creative "commercial-style" videos, these students truly brought their animals to life. We are so proud of their hard work and creativity!

✨ More than just a week... it was a whole mood! ✨
Our hearts (and stomachs) are so full after an unforgettable Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎 From Mindful Monday yoga sessions to Squad Goal Fridays, our community truly rolled out the red carpet for us.
Whether we were pouring custom candles, dodging "spies" in the hallway, or enjoying a full spread of food trucks and "anything but a cup" festivities, every single detail made us feel incredibly special.
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing admin, student clubs, fine arts departments, and athletic teams for spoiling us rotten. We are so lucky to teach in a place that pours as much love into us as we do into our students!
