Lutheran High School Family,
4th of July Greetings! As one of my favorite holidays, I don’t think the week prior is too soon to share this greeting!
John Adams said he thought the anniversary of our independence should be celebrated with “Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more” (the complete quote has a full checklist of his recommended activities). In the midst of celebrations, we can thank God for the blessings associated with our freedom.
College-Ready Reading - Each summer, LHS provides a College-Ready Reading list to better prepare students for our English program as well as for ACT and SAT college entrance exams. Students in the English Honors program will additionally be preparing for Advanced Placement exams during the course of their time here. Please visit College-Ready Reading on our website under Current Family Information to find these lists (both Honors and Non-Honors). You’ll also see these specific instructions:
“After reading the appropriate text(s) for their specific class, students will be assessed over key aspects of the works (plot, characterization, setting, narration, theme(s), etc.). Please use the provided QR codes to access the reading guide for each course. Completion of the reading guide is not required, but they are designed to support students in their reading and assessment preparation. The assessment date(s) and format will be determined by the individual teacher and will occur the week of August 18, 2025.”
School Pictures - All students (new and returning) will have their pictures taken at grade-specific times on Monday, August 11; Tuesday, August 12; and Wednesday, August 13. We do this before school starts to eliminate missing valuable class time after the year begins. Please enter the front doors as the pictures will be taken on the upper level.
If at all possible, our preference is for students to have their pictures taken on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is also an option for all grade levels if Monday and Tuesday are not feasible.
These pictures are used for our yearbook, our student ID cards, and in FACTS for student records. Seniors must also take this photo for ID cards, but will submit their professional senior photo for the yearbook at a later date. Students unable to be in attendance can have their school picture taken on September 18 (School Picture Retakes).
Lifetouch, the school photography company, will be taking our pictures. More information about ordering pictures will be sent later this summer.
All students should be in dress code for school pictures, seniors included. :)

Office Closed - The school office will be closed June 30 - July 4 in honor of the 4th of July holiday and in coordination with summer projects (floor waxing and carpet cleaning) in the building.
On behalf of Lutheran High School, I hope you have some amazing (and safe) 4th of July outings and celebrations! Happy 4th of July!
Serving Him,
David Ness
