Principal's Corner
Hello FamiLEE,
We had a great week last week and enjoyed celebrating our class of 2025 Seniors at their awards ceremony today! It is teacher appreciation week! Let's show how thankful we are for our amazing teachers for all they do for our children by supporting this year's celebrations.
- Wednesday, May 7th, Lee PTSA & New Century Tech PTSA will co-host a festive lunch for all our teachers & staff. Drop off food items on Tue, May 6, or before 10:00 a.m. on Wed, May 7.

I want to continue to emphasize the importance of all students being here each day and on time. Good attendance is essential for achievement in school and we need your child here as much as possible so that we can move forward as a school community. When your child misses school for any reason, please send excuse notes to LHS.Attendance@hsv-k12.org.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Kitrise Torain
LHS Principal
