Tuesday's Fun Fact
Due to the threat of inclement weather, Lancaster County School District has designated Tuesday, January 9, 2024, as an E-Learning Day for all schools and offices.
Due to the threat of inclement weather, Lancaster County School District has designated Tuesday, January 9, 2024, as an E-Learning Day for all schools and offices. There will not be any afterschool activities on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. Again, Tuesday, January 9, 2024, will be an E-Learning Day for all employees and students. This is over safety concerns of the potential for severe weather in our area. Based on weather guidance, we could experience heavy rainfall, flash flooding, damaging winds, and the possibility of tornadoes. The latest weather predictions show parts of our county getting winds of up to 30 mph with wind gusts exceeding 40 mph. If this comes to fruition, we will face dangers operating school buses and in transportation in general. We will continue to monitor the weather and take any necessary safety precautions as warranted to keep our students safe. For more specifics for your student, your student’s teacher and school will send more information. This early notice will allow everyone to make the necessary arrangements for tomorrow. We will continue to monitor the weather, and we will keep you informed through Remind texts and the district website. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. As always, keeping our students and staff safe is our number one priority.

Congratulations to the Culinary Arts Management 2 students! They had 100% pass rate on the ServSafe certification exam. Chef Hawkes said, "This is very exciting as nationally less than 50% of high school students pass."
To add a little fun and motivation to a stressful situation, Chef Hawkes put himself on the line. If all students passed the certification exam, he would either shave his beard or have it colored rainbow with leopard print! He held true to his offer. See the picture for his new look!
Dr. Fitzpatrick, the new LCSD superintendent, visited the Career Center today, December 12, 2023. He was able to meet with our administrative team and visit a few classes. We look forward to having him back in the new year for a more in depth visit with the faculty and staff!
