SENIORS' LAST DAY Today we celebrated the LPS Class of 2026 on their final day as high school students. Seniors had breakfast together, walked the halls in their caps and gowns, enjoyed a Cheese Shop lunch, gave out awards and pranks, and shared one final walk into school with their parents, just as they did on their very first day of kindergarten.

This class has brought so much joy to our school community. Their leadership, creativity, thoughtfulness, and humor have made us smile for years, and we are incredibly excited for them in their next adventures.
