Dear Lehigh Lightning Family,

It is hard to believe that we are moving into the latter part of our year! We have one full quarter left of high intensity academics and assessments. It is VERY important now more than ever that you make sure your student is in school daily and on time. Parents, please make

sure you are checking your students grades regularly in FOCUS.

In this newsletter, you will fi nd some very important information and dates. Please make sure you mark your calendars and join us for the many exciting events we have coming up. Also included are some highlights of the amazing success we have had this year! We have so much to be proud of at LSHS!

In this last letter of the school year, I want to wish all of the SENIORS a fond farewell! Graduation is May 24, 2020 @ 2:30 P.M. at the Hertz Arena. I hope that all of you are staying on top of your grades/requirements and that you avoid a case of “Senioritis”. On behalf of the staff , we want to thank you for a wonderful four years. We wish you every happiness as you go out into the world and make a diff erence. We hope that you will come back and share your journey as you will always be in our hearts and a part of the Lehigh Lightning Family!

Those students returning next year, please look for a newsletter again in July. If any member of the LSHS staff or I can assist you or your student, please do not hesitate to call us. We are in this together! Let’s fi nish this year strong!!!

Sincerely,Jackie CoreyPrincipal

TheatreThe theatre department presented two performances during the months of January and March. Madagascar was a must see theatrical production of the movie about animals who escape for the zoo and go on an adventure in the wild. The performance was amazing from the characters to the set design, a truly professional show, something that adults and children alike totally enjoyed. The other performance, Midsummer Jersey, a comedy that left the audience in stitches, it was hilarious! Mark your calendars for our next performance Legally Blonde. Center students will be performing this play on April 23rd thru the 25th in the LSHS auditorium.
