Hello FamiLEE,

We had a great full week of learning and building great relationships with students. I am excited to see the greatness that will come out of our school this year. We will have the LHS Open House on Thursday, September 7, 2023 at 5:30p.m. This will begin in the theater.

Please join the P.T.A. We want to partner with you so that our teachers and parents are on the same page. We truly appreciate your support and help as we continue to strive for excellence at the FamiLEE.

Again if you have questions, concerns, or need to discuss something with me, please email me or call the school and speak with Ms. Smartt, administrative assistant.

If you need to send in absence excuses, please email lee.attendance@hsv-k12.org.

I appreciate you all,

Kitrise Torain

LHS Principal
