Back to School Madness

The first day of school is always the most exciting day of the school year.  With sophomores moving up to high school, and everyone starting a new year in a new grade, and everyone eager to see all their friends and talk about the exciting events from their summer vacations. 

     There's no doubt the first few days of school can be compared to a mad house.  With this year estimated over 930 students, (compared to last year with only around 900) students crammed through the LHHS hallways, trying to find their classes.  But the biggest concern of all the students was their lunch.  Some students were told they had first lunch, but then really had second.  Students then had to scramble as they showed up to class late and hungry.  "I was very confused." stated Kortnie Wages, a junior at LHHS.

     Schedule changes were also a big event going on the first few days of school as well.  Students cram into the councilor's office waving schedule change forms into their faces. By the end of the week, councilors had well over 100 schedule change forms to organize and rearrange.  Once schedule change forms were made, students were coming and going through the class rooms and pushing and shoving throughout the hallways

     Sophomores are stereotypically the "targeted" students in high schools because they are very easy to push around in the halls and are susceptible to pranks.  However, at LHHS, most become adapted very quickly to the high school.  Sophomore Brady Rowe stated, "My first few days of high school, I expected a lot of bad attitude, but most of the students and teachers were very helpful."  Connor Goad, a senior student council member stated, " I enjoy helping the sophomores become adjusted to the new high school atmosphere.  I reassure them that high school life can be very enjoyable, if you make it so."

     The first semester consists of some very exciting events.  Such events include the Back to School Bash, Homecoming, football games, and they most important, Thanksgiving and Christmas break!  Everyone at LHHS I wish you the best and hope you have a safe and fantastic year!
