LHS Counselors visited with English 4 classes today to encourage Seniors in the post-secondary planning process.
A summary of the counselors' visit today:
1) Now is the time to be applying for College and Trade School via Apply Texas! Free Application Week is October 13 -19 through Apply Texas and Texas schools.

This past Saturday, September 27th, the LHS Mighty Leopard Band gave two outstanding performances at the 50th Annual Blinn Buccaneer Marching Festival. They placed 1st in Prelims (out of 15 Bands, all classes) and won caption awards for Outstanding Class 4A Band (of 6 bands), and Outstanding Overall Percussion! Their top scores earned them the last performance time in Finals. They gave an even better show under the "Saturday Night Lights", and brought home the 2nd Place Trophy in the Finals. Congratulations, Mighty Leopard Band!

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2026 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2026 competition by taking the 2024 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented the NMSC spokesperson. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
