Shattered Dreams is a two-day program that illustrates how dreams end due to the consequences of drinking and driving. The dramatization involves students at an alcohol-related crash on the LTHS campus. The drama plays out in front of the junior and senior student body on March 31st, 2022, and there are many ways to be involved!
Past students reflect that the experience is incredibly powerful. "For me, it felt really realistic because Jacqui (my sister) was in it. It really made me realize what it would have been like if she was really gone. The reality is that drinking and driving is about living and dying."
To give students a better understanding of the number of DWI-related deaths, an individual dressed as the "Grim Reaper" appears in a different classroom every 15 minutes to select a new victim. The victims are taken out of class and dressed in black t-shirts to symbolize the loss in visual numbers.
Juniors and Seniors who apply will be chosen to represent the consequences of a fictitious crash at a staged accident scene. You will want be a part of the experience! APPLY BY DECEMBER 17th!
CYBER SAFETY tIPS to Keep Grinches from Holiday Hacking!
CYBER SAFETY tIPS to Keep Grinches from Holiday Hacking!
During this online shopping season, be aware that your data and money could be vulnerable. Here are some tips to avoid holiday theft:
• Keep a clean machine. Before picking out that perfect gift, be sure that all internet-connected devices ‒ including PCs, smartphones and tablets ‒ are free from malware and infections by running only the most current versions of software, web browsers and other apps.
• Use secure Wi-Fi. Using free public Wi-Fi to shop online while at your favorite coffee shop is tremendously convenient, but it is not cyber safe. Don’t make purchases while connected to public Wi-Fi; instead use a virtual private network (VPN) or your phone as a hotspot.
• Lock down your login. Create long and unique passphrases for all accounts and use multi-factor authentication wherever possible. Multi-factor authentication will fortify your online accounts by enabling the strongest authentication tools available, such as biometrics or a unique one-timecode sent to your phone or mobile device.

Holiday attendance
Holiday attendance
To report an absence, click “Report an Absence” on the LTHS homepage. Reporting an absence for multiple days?
If you are traveling or CERTAIN of the number of days your student will not be on campus, submit ALL dates just one time online. This parent excuse will be entered in our attendance system for all days at the same time - no need to resend each day.
If your student is sick and has a doctor's note until they are fever-free/recovered/etc., you should submit a DAILY excuse online and attach the doctor's note each day, until the student returns. The attendance will be updated DAILY. By attaching the doctor's excuse daily, the student is assured that records are accurate.
Please remember our philosophy that learning never stops. Weeks leading to the end of the semester are significant to curriculum closure and understanding, so we appreciate your support in consistent attendance. As always, students must check in / check out through the front office.
