Lockport loves the Buffalo Sabres!

Last week Lockport High School inducted more than 200 students into eight subject area honor societies. Students received faculty nominations and met the requirements of the individual honor societies. Also at the ceremony, 41 juniors received junior awards from various colleges, universities and organizations. Some of these awards include the opportunities for scholarships ranging in value from $1,000 - $30,000 if the student chooses to apply to that institution. Congratulations to all!

Today we recognize the heart of our schools - our incredible nurses 💙

THANK YOU for the countless ways you show up, often behind the scenes, to keep our school community healthy, safe, and supported. We are so grateful for everything you do! 🩺✨

The Lockport High School Chapter of the National Honor Society held its annual induction ceremony last week, welcoming new members. Inductees must be juniors or seniors, receive teacher recommendations, and fulfill service requirements. Congratulations to our newest members.

Behind every great school in our district is a dedicated leader who believes in the potential of every student. Today, we celebrate our 8 incredible principals! 🌟 From the first bell to the final graduation walk, they are the architects of our students’ success and the heartbeat of our community. Thank you for leading with courage and compassion! Happy School Principals' Day!

Lockport High School Spanish Club held their annual Cascarones celebration after school last week.

Cascarones are colorful egg shells filled with confetti and covered on the open end with tissue paper. The tradition is popular in parts of Mexico during Easter, Carnival, weddings and other special fiestas. Students collected, colored, and filled the eggs, which were then distributed on the front lawn of the school. After the hunt for the eggs, they are broken on each other's head, in a symbol of showering each other with love.

Academies are LHS's own career-focused pathways that give students hands-on, real-world learning experiences. Recently, the business academy students took a trip to the Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship in Rochester. Students had the opportunity to hear from local entrepreneur Cyndi Weiss, tour the campus, connect with current students during a Q&A, and put their skills to the test in a marketing and sales challenge.

Experiences like this show what the LHS Academies are all about - helping students explore their interests, build real-world skills, and take the next step toward their future in business and beyond.
