Message from freshmen: We’re not as bad as you think we are
October 3, 2018
Most students left the last Friday's pep rally listening to the band playing their final song. Not the Class of 2022, however. Due to the poor behavior of a small group of students, the entire class was held back in order to be reprimanded. Apparently, a group of freshman students chose to m...

Since I began high school, the only thing on my mind was, “When can I get out of here?” They say these four years fly by and up until around a week ago, I never believed that. It’s crazy to me that I’m graduating in a month. When thinking about graduating, I have always been so excited, a...

There are LHS students in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community (LGBTQ+) who have been relentlessly bullied and taunted because of who they are. We don't want LHS to be on that list of schools where this type of bullying, or any bullying for that matter, takes place. ...

Sometimes you hear it near the end of the school year, or maybe even you have made the complaint now. Why do seniors get to skip finals? Why do they get these big senior field trips?

Paint this scene in your head: People in the crowd scold the football players as they continue to kneel during the national anthem at the start of the game. The players don’t rage back at the audience nor try to justify their actions because, to them, what they’re doing already says enough. ...
A + B should equal no midterm for seniors
Alex McIntosh, Reporter
January 16, 2018
It is a fact of life here in LHS that seniors are afforded the ability to avoid the midterm exams. It isn’t a free pass given to seniors because they don’t want to take the exams, but rather a privilege earned through hard work. In order to avoid midterm exam for a class, the senior must score at...

Throughout our lives girls are told to “look pretty” by our parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, and pretty much all of society. At this point, what does “look pretty” even mean? Is it against the Feminine Code of Conduct for me wear my favorite pair of sweats because they don’t hu...

Art by Rhea Hernandez Ever since I started going to school, I have found girls often worry about one thing: fitting in. Sadly, I know I’ve wondered if that outfit I bought is “cute” or not, so I’ve sent pictures of my outfit to my friends on Snapchat to get their approval before I step foot o...
