Week 14

Congratulations to our Lovejoy Football Team on their impressive victory over McIntosh High School! We also extend congratulations to our seniors who were recognized for their contributions to Football, Cheer, Sideline Pom and Dance, and the Marching Band. A special shout-out to all of our scholars who continue to represent Lovejoy High School through performances, competitions, and extracurricular activities. We are extremely proud of your dedication, commitment, and embodiment of the mission and vision of Lovejoy High School. Thank you to our Lovejoy community for your continued support, encouragement, and advocacy of our scholars.

HERE WE GROW AGAIN!

I am excited to announce the ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new gymnasium on Thursday, November 12th! This state-of-the-art addition is a tremendous asset to our school and community. At approximately 175,000 square feet, the facility features three levels, including a gymnasium, cardio room, hospitality suite, and indoor track. This is an incredible addition to our campus, and I invite you to join us for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to experience it for yourself. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you!

WE ARE SHIFTING, AGAIN!

As construction continues and additional spaces are added to our beautiful campus, we must continue to adjust and strengthen our transition plan to ensure the safety and security of everyone. One upcoming adjustment will involve our morning student drop-off and entry procedures. Students will enter through the Hall of Fame entrance near the new gymnasium.

We are particularly excited about this entrance because scholars will be able to enter through a covered area as they proceed through our safety and security checkpoint. This adjustment will provide a more accommodating entry experience while maintaining our commitment to safety.

As a reminder, Clayton County Public Schools has a clear bag mandate. All students and visitors must adhere to this requirement. Bags that do not meet the established criteria will not be permitted inside the building. This includes athletic bags and purses. We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we continue to implement procedures that prioritize the safety and security of our school community.

As we continue to grow, we must also be willing to adjust, improve, and embrace the opportunities that come with change. Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering. Let us continue to work together, support one another, and make every day count for our scholars.

We are Lovejoy! Excellence is not just what we do; it is who we are!

Sincerely,

Dr. K. Griffin
Proud Principal
Lovejoy High School

Students toured Spelman College on Thursday and were introduced to the campus and programs. Virtual tours are given twice a week. The next one will be held on Tuesday, November 10 at 6PM. Register here.

Another tour will be scheduled in Spring. Our boys will be touring Morehouse on Tuesday.

This year's Fall LDC was held November 5-6, 2026 at the Renaissance Waverly in Atlanta, GA.

Beginning Monday, November 9, Lovejoy High School will implement schoolwide tardy sweeps to reinforce punctuality and maximize instructional time.

Students are expected to arrive to every class on time and be prepared to learn when the bell rings. Students who arrive late will be required to obtain a tardy pass before entering class.

Repeated tardies will result in progressive consequences, including parent contact, detention, and administrative intervention.

Please review the attached Tardy Policy and Tardy Sweep flyers for additional information.

We ask that you speak with your scholar about the importance of arriving to class on time and following school expectations.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work to create a positive and productive learning environment.

Every Minute Matters!

We surely hope your schedule will allow you to attend (hopefully you received my previous email asking you to Save the Date). Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you...

Karen Heatley, LHS Parent Liaison, 770 473 2920 ext 506145
