The Pirate Ship
Lytle High School: September 2024
Message from your Principal:
I hope this message finds you well. As we move forward in the school year, I wanted to take a moment to share some of the incredible things happening here at Lytle High School. Our campus is buzzing with excitement, and I’m proud of the progress and accomplishments we’ve seen so far.
Academic Excellence
Our students have hit the ground running, showing remarkable dedication in their studies. We’re seeing strong engagement in classrooms, with innovative projects and hands-on learning that’s sparking curiosity and critical thinking.
Athletics and Extracurriculars
Our athletic teams have been giving their all on the field, court, and track. The commitment and sportsmanship displayed by our student-athletes are inspiring, and we’re cheering them on as they represent our school with pride. Beyond athletics, our clubs and organizations are thriving, providing students with opportunities to explore their interests and build leadership skills.
Community Involvement
One of the things that makes our school special is our connection to the community. We recently had our Community Pep Rally at the High School and the turnout was amazing. We are currently preparing for the Night Parade scheduled for September 21st and are looking forward to seeing you there.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and community partners who contribute to the success of our students every day. Your involvement and encouragement make all the difference.
Let’s continue to work together to make this year unforgettable. We have much to be proud of and even more to look forward to as we build on this momentum.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
Warm regards,
Matthew Jenke
Principal Lytle High School
