It’s no secret that this will be LTHS’s fourth attempt to pass a referendum for a new campus.

The next counter measure approved by the Board of Education is a switch to a Mandatory Split Schedule in the 2009-10 school year. This necessary step will have an immediate effect on students and residents alike, and it is important to understand the consequences. Learn more>
