Principal's Corner

Hello FamiLEE,

This week, we had many students leaving positive imprints throughout the community. From our magnet students to our adaptive P.E. class to our student athletics, Lee High School is truly a place where great things are happening. We love seeing our students and faculty shine.

Please read the information below about the changes to bus pick up. The changes were made to continue student success and an efficient pick up process. This change will happen Monday, February 5, 2024. This is in the weekly announcements section.

Have a great weekend!

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

Have a great weekend!!!

Sincerely,

Kitrise Torain

LHS Principal

Attendance

Attention FamiLEE! One of our 2023-24 goals is to keep our overall attendance rate at 95% or higher for the entire school year. We were at 92.29% last week are currently at 94.07% for the year. We need your help to continue to improve and reach our goal! Attendance is one of the most important factors that influences how students do in school, and we need each student with us at school every day!!!

Staff Members of the Week

Congratulations to Mr. Caudle and Mr. Shields, our staff spotlights this week! We are thankful for their support in helping make everyone's day more smooth.

Mr. Caudle is such a great support for the faculty, staff, and students of Lee High as well as the district. He goes above and beyond to build relationships with students. Mr. Caudle is always willing to lend a helping hand around the school, not to mention his great grilling skills!

Mr. Shields has worked really hard to build relationships and provide support for teachers. He is able to work with some of our more challenging students to refocus their energy and actions. Mr. Shields is always willing to pitch-in and support the FamiLee. We are blessed to have him with us!
