ASB clubs: A great way to meet
new friends!
LHS offers many
diverse clubs for students. Clubs meet
for thirty minutes every two weeks during Activity Period. There is a list of clubs on the website. Students who do not choose to attend a club
will stay in their first period classes.
Every year our
incoming freshmen are partnered up with upperclassmen and meet with them a few
times throughout the school year. The
upperclassmen inform freshmen about upcoming events and the ins-and-outs of
high school life.
Lockers are
optional at the high school. Students
will be allowed to sign up for lockers during the first week of school, or any time
during the school year. Incoming
freshmen need to decide whether or not they would like a locker.
12. Library
hours
The library is
available before school, during lunches and after school daily. Students are welcome to read, work on
homework, use the printer or visit quietly with friends. Official library hours are from 7:15 a.m. to
2:45 p.m.
