If you can't make that session and would like to pick up your schedule before the year begins please stop by the Career Academy and you can get your schedule from Mrs. Peske.

Schedules will also be distributed on the first day of school.

Freshman Orientation and other news

Hi everyone!

1. Please welcome two new staff members to LHS. Toby Seuss and Shelly Osborn have both joined the LHS staff. Mr. Seuss will be leading our CTRE program and Mrs. Osborn will be serving as our school Social Worker.
2. At the parent meeting last week the students, faculty and parents voted for the LHS slogan. (Tradition Starts Here). We have had to tweak that a little bit. The slogan officially is “Tradition Begins Here”.
3. The dates are set for our Freshman Orientation. Please try to join us on your designated date as it will be easier to meet the needs of everyone. However if you need to come on a different date that works as well.

Parent Meeting and Freshman Orientation

I would like to thank all the parents and staff that attended our student/parent meeting last evening. Over 200 students and parents gathered in the Career Academy Multi-Purpose room. The support from the LHS Parents and Staff will help ensure the success of the LHS students. Thank you!

At the meeting last night we mentioned that Freshman Orientation will take place in July. In the next couple of weeks you will receive a letter in the mail that will mention your designated time. I will also post those times and dates on the website and this blog.

Again thank you for attending last night and if you have any questions that were not answered for you please send an email my way and I will get back to you shortly!

More Hires

I am pleased to announce two more hires to the LHS family. Pam Peske and Maggie Townsend will be joining us as Administrative Assisant and Library Media Specialist respectivley.

Mrs. Peske has a degree in both English and Special Education and has spent the past 19 years working at BHS in the main office as the accounts secretary. Mrs. Townsend comes to us from South Central High School where she spent the past year teaching English. Prior to coming to South Central Mrs. Townsend spend time in Divide County and Minto as both an English teacher and a Library Media Specialist. She also served as the districts Athletic Director.

I'm extremelyt excited having both Mrs. Peske and Mrs. Townsend on board! Please welcome them to Saber Country!

Phone Number

I remember moving out of my parents house and the excitement of getting my first phone number. The number was more than just a way to reach me, but represented another chapter in my life. Today's students have the same excitement and pride when they receive their first cell phone.

As we continue to build LHS, I'm happy to announce that we have a phone number! This may seem like a small step or a formality, but it is yet another reminder about the reality of what is LEGACY HIGH SCHOOL.

Right now I'm the only person in the offices at LHS so you may get directed to voice mail if you try calling. Please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. We are hoping to have an Administrative Assistant in place shortly who will help in answering your calls.

To reach LHS please call 701-323-4851
