Even though the temperature outside doesn’t feel like it
right now, spring is here. We have made it through the winter with a few more
snow days than we would have liked, but warmer temperatures are on the way.
Believe it or not, summer is just around the corner.
While summer is not too far off, we are still working to
address the issues caused by the snow days. As you know, in order to make up
the time we missed, our school day now begins at 7:55 am and ends at 3:35 pm.
Also, Friday, May 24th is now a 1:00 pm dismissal day. This schedule permits
us to make up much of the missed instructional time prior to SOL testing.
Regardless of the temperature, spring is always a busy
time at LCHS. Our spring sports teams have been hard at work and each team is
looking forward to a great season. Be sure to check out the link on the LCHS
Athletics website for a complete schedule. Our arts programs have been busy as
well. The annual LCPS Arts Festival was held on Saturday and it was a great
event as always. Also, the LCHS Musical Theater Ensemble presented “Godspell” this weekend.
(If you missed this weekend’s performances, they will be doing a final show on
Friday, March 29th in the LCMS Forum.) And, our students and
teachers continue to work diligently to get ready for the SOL tests coming up in
May. Even though the year is coming to a close, everyone at LCHS is still
working hard to maintain our tradition of excellence in classroom, on the
athletic field, and in our extracurricular activities.
Also, don’t forget that we will be having our
Parent-Teacher Conference Night on Wednesday, April 10th from 3:45 pm
to 7:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for you to meet with your child’s
teachers to discuss his or her progress during the 3rd nine weeks. I
hope to see everyone there.

always, I would like to thank you for your support of Louisa County High
School. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me
