Principal Musings
Dear Bengal Families,
February is a wonderful month to celebrate African American History and recognize the significant impacts our ancestors have had on us and the wonderful accomplishments of our community! Please join me in a number of events and celebrations planned across CCSD and at LBHS!
We want to thank our wonderful partners from CCSD and our community as we shared a very impactful presentation for our students around the effects and consequences of substance use and abuse. Thank you to David Shelton 1team1cause , Nanci Shipman and Dean Stephens

Please join me in thanking, our team for their work to make this a reality! There is no more important message we can share with our students!
