"Building a community prepared for the choices and challenges of life."

Dear Lamoille Union Students, Families, and Caregivers,

The new school year is off to an incredible start at LUHS! Thank you to everyone who joined us for New Student Orientation. We had an outstanding turnout, with nearly 90% of our new students and families in attendance. We appreciate our incoming families, faculty, and returning Lancers who stepped up to demonstrate the culture of leadership and mentorship that makes Lamoille so special.

Educators engaged in professional development focused on brain-based science, equipping our staff to refine teaching practices that directly support how the adolescent brain learns best.

Below: Welcome to Lamoille Union, Class of 2030! We would like to give a huge thank you to our amazing student leaders (pictured below) who volunteered their evening to answer questions, guide campus tours, and welcome our newest Lancers. We also want to recognize student speakers James Wallace and Quinn Sheldon for sharing their insights with our incoming students and families.
