🦁💙 Embrace our differences and support each other.
Every student brings something unique to our classrooms—different strengths, perspectives, and ways of learning. That’s what makes our schools strong.
When we take the time to understand and uplift one another, we create a community where everyone belongs and everyone can succeed.
#WeAreLions #NeurodiversityAwareness
Small actions can make a big difference.
Whether it’s offering a quiet space, rethinking how we give instructions, or simply showing patience—these everyday choices help create a school where every student, including those who are neurodivergent, can thrive. 💙💛
Let’s keep celebrating the unique ways our students learn, grow, and succeed—because inclusion isn’t one big gesture, it’s a series of small, intentional ones. #NeurodiversityAwareness
After learning about Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and French artists, LHS French 4 and 5 students visited the AKG Art Museum to see the works of art studied, which are part of the permanent collection of the AKG. Students enjoyed a guided tour, seeing the art in person, and also learning about current exhibits.
LHS students had an egg-citing surprise before spring recess!
Hidden around the school were special eggs—and those lucky enough to find one could turn it in at the main office for a prize. Just a fun and festive way to keep everyone engaged and energized before the break!

LHS students had the amazing opportunity to spend the day at the Golisano Institute of Business and Entrepreneurship in Rochester last week.
Students learned about the unique model of higher education that the Institute can provide post-graduation. - "Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship delivers a higher-quality, no-debt, accelerated business education that sets you up for economic success."
