Mrs. Yourk (Class of 2026 Advisor) is just helping to get the class organized until a Class Advisor is found.

We are now accepting applications for parking permits for Juniors. We have applications in the office. Along with the application you will need to bring in a copy of your license, registration and your payment of $50.00 made out to the Town of Lunenburg. Also, your activity fee must be paid as well. If you are paying for both activity fee and parking fee they need to be in two separate checks as they are going into separate accounts.
