The Modular High School is Coming

If you have driven by LCHS in the last week or so, you may have noticed some changes.  In preparation for the modular high school, some trees and light poles have been removed, the tennis court fence has been taken down, and the utility lines have been marked.  We should shortly see the arrival of the first pods which will serve as the home of LCHS for the foreseeable future.  The new modular high school will let us (and the Middle School) get back to a more normal schedule. 
Of course, things won't be completely normal and we will have to work through some things.  We will see some changes in where staff and students can park, we will need to change where students can be picked up and dropped off, and we will need to find a place for our tennis team to practice and play matches.  But, as with everything else we've had to change this year, I know that this community will work together to find solutions to any and all problems that we will face.
Changing gears a little bit, not only is the modular high school coming, but so is Homecoming.  The SCA has done a great job this year in adapting to the new circumstances we face.  We are having two weeks of Spirit Days, including Decade Day, Formal Day, and, of course, Green and Gold Day.  On Friday, October 28th, the day of the Homecoming game, the students want to show their support of the fight against breast cancer by having a Pink Out Day.  Make sure you come out on Friday to enjoy all of the Homecoming festivities and support the Lions as they face Charlottesville.
