Dear Parents and Students,

We would like to share an important update from our office. Mr. Conner has decided to pursue private practice and we wish him the very best in this next chapter. As a result, our team is currently short staffed.

Mrs. Horning and Ms. Mason, with the support of Mr. Murray (two days per week), will be working together to accommodate students’ needs during this time. We kindly ask for your patience, as there will be delays in response times while we are down a counselor.

In addition, we are entering one of our busiest times of the year as we begin going into classrooms to work with students on planning their courses for next school year. Please know that we are doing our very best to respond as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

Thank you for your continued support.

Save the date! In conjunction with a couple community partners, LHS students and families are invited to take part in a post-seconday opportunity sponsored by Mott Community College and Financial Plus. Visit LMS on March 14th.

Previous LHS standouts, and members of the Linden Athletic Hall of Fame came back to LHS to help celebrate the upgrades to the Hall of Fame. Special thanks to Athletic Hall of Fame members Derek Brody, Char Nester, Pete Maas, Desi Mayner, Jim Stars, Pat Starrs, Roy Raymond, Kyke Hopkins, and Denny Hopkins for coming back to help celebrate the upgrades to the Hall!

For those wanting to get a jump start on the 2026 State Testing window, students may practice on their own through various free resources available to them. The links below provide free sample tests prior to the April testing window.

The tentative Spring testing dates for LHS students is provided below:

• Monday, April 6, 2026 - PSAT 9

• Tuesday, April 7, 2026 - PSAT 10
• Wednesday, April 8, 2026 - SAT with Essay
• Thursday, April 9, 2026 - WIN Work Ready Assessment (formerly the ACT Workkeys)

The Sat with Essay, WIN Work Ready Assessment, and the M-Step comprise the MME (Michigan Merit Exam), and are all mandatory assessments for current 11th grade students, and 12th grade students that did not test last year. Additional information will be provided in future LHS Updates as we get closer to Spring test dates. Make-Up dates for the MME Assessments will be available.

Over 13,000 votes were cast during the initial voting period, which ran from February 5-12 and included a total of 266 educators across the three categories. The final round of voting will last until Monday, February 23 at 5 p.m. and can be found here.
