The Week of Monday, June 12 (last day of school)
Message from the LHS Principal, Desiree Fisher
Pacers,
It is always a bittersweet time of year, when we say goodbye to our graduating seniors, knowing how hard they have worked to get to this milestone but also how much we will miss them as they go find their new adventures. We are excited to welcome our new 9th grade Pacers to the family in the fall and for the staff and teachers here at Lakeridge we wish you a safe and restful summer. Congratulations on completing the 2022-23 school year, have a wonderful summer and see you on August 25, 2023 at Pacer Pick up day as we get ready for the 2023-24 school year. Have a great few months away and we will see you in the Fall - Go Pacers!!
Love Ms. Fish
