Principal's Message

Tiger Families,

Our 3rd Annual LIS Silent Disco was a huge success last Friday. 300+ students, 100s of snacks & drinks donated, and countless amazing dance moves. A big thanks to Mr. Conner, our 6th Grade Student Council Advisor, for planning this event!

Our students finished up MAP (Measures of Academic Performance) testing recently. These assessments in both ELA and Math are used to measure student growth and make educational decisions. You can view your student's Winter MAP scores in Tigerparent.me under 'Assessments'.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy some sunshine (hopefully) and warmer temps.

Go Tigers!

College Credit Plus

The Ohio Department of Higher Education established the College Credit Plus (CCP) program to enhance students' college and career readiness and postsecondary options. The CCP program enables college-ready 7-12 grade students who qualify for college admission to take college-level courses. Students may earn both high school and transcripted college credit upon successful completion of coursework. If you are interested in learning more about CCP, please come and join the LHS counselors for the annual CCP meeting on January 29, 2025, at 6:30 PM in the LHS Auditorium. We strongly encourage students to attend this event. There will be a brief overview of the program as well as tables set up with many of the local colleges being represented. The college representatives will be able to share their college-specific information. If you are unable to attend the meeting, there will be a presentation posted on the LHS College Credit Plus Google Site.
