Principal's Corner
Hello FamiLEE,
I hope all of you have enjoyed your summer! We are working hard at Lee to prepare for a great school year. We are excited about all our incoming freshman and returning students and can't wait to see everyone at orientation and the first day of school this week. Please see the information below concerning all the important upcoming events and ensure you have completed PowerSchool registration for your student as it is required for your student to get a schedule and attend class. Also, please review our dress code with your child.
Sincerely,
Kitrise Torain
LHS Principal

PowerSchool Registration
Attention Lee High School Parents & Guardians! Please see the message below if you have not already completed your child's PowerSchool registration!!
This year, your child will not be given a schedule or be allowed to attend class until the registration process is complete. Here are the two things that are required:
1) Complete online enrollment. Go to www.huntsvillecityschools.org, click the blue enrollment button, and scroll down to “Returning Student Registration.” Follow the steps and enter the following the snapcode that was emailed and mailed to you along with your child's report card.
2) Provide two current (within the last 30 days) valid documents as proof of residence. One must be a lease, deed, or mortgage and the other must be a utility, cable, or phone bill. You may upload or email scanned copies of the documents or snapshots taken by phone (please be sure the snapshot is not blurry and displays the whole document). If you choose to email the documents or have any questions about the registration process or need assistance, please email the Registrar at anjanette.yarbrough@hsv-k12.org or visit the school during one of our registration help sessions.
