Greetings Viking Students and Families,

Welcome, Vikings! The 2026-27 school year is here, and with it comes the opportunity to embrace new challenges, opportunities, pursue passions and create memories that will last a lifetime. We are excited to get started! 

One of the best ways to make the most of your high school experience is to get connected through the 4A’s: Academics, Arts, Activities, and Athletics. Together, these areas provide the anchors of a well-rounded high school journey. While every Viking is called to grow through Academics on the path to graduation and future success, the Arts, Activities, and Athletics open doors for students to pursue passions, develop talents, and strengthen their sense of belonging in our community.

At LSHS, the Viking Way - being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready - guides how we learn, lead, and live together. Our commitment is to honor and celebrate diversity, foster a culture of dignity, and ensure that every student feels welcomed, seen, and supported. Our staff are dedicated to building meaningful relationships and creating classrooms where curiosity and achievement thrive.

This Student & Family Handbook serves as a resource for understanding how our school operates day-to-day, while also highlighting the shared responsibilities that make our learning community successful. It is designed to help families and students navigate expectations and opportunities with clarity and confidence.

As your principal, I am both honored and grateful to serve this incredible school. Each year brings a renewed sense of purpose and possibility, and I am proud to lead a team committed to preparing all students for the future - whether that means college, career, or civic life. Together, we will continue to strive for academic excellence, personal growth, and a vibrant school culture.

It’s always a great day to be a Viking!

My Viking Best,

Leslie Ivelia
