Students, we are looking for two representatives to serve on our School Accountability Committee. This committee of teachers, parents, students, administrators, and community members works to support school improvement efforts.  The committee meets once each month on a Wednesday afternoon from 2:30 to 4 p.m.  It's a GREAT way to learn more about LHS and students from any grade level are welcome.  To apply, pick up an application in the Main Office today.  Return it by Tuesday, September 6th, at 8 a.m.  If we have more than two candidates, we will draw names by lottery.
