In Lockport City School District, We All Belong is more than a tagline. It’s a shared belief that every student, staff member, and family is a vital part of our story. As we enter the 2025–2026 school year, we are embracing an additional theme: We Are One.

This year, we are celebrating what unites us:
- Eight unique schools.
- One unified district.
- One collective mission.
- One unwavering commitment to our students.

Though our buildings span different grades, neighborhoods, and traditions, our strength lies in our connection. From our youngest kindergartener to our graduating seniors, from new educators to long-serving staff, we are all part of something bigger that we build together.

What “We Are One” Represents:
One Purpose – We are all working toward the same goal: empowering every student to reach their fullest potential.
One Community – We are connected by shared values, shared goals, and shared pride in being Lions.
One Voice – We celebrate diversity and individuality while standing united in our belief that everyone matters and everyone belongs.
One Future – From literacy and leadership to innovation and inclusion, what we do in each classroom today builds a better tomorrow for all.
One Standard – High expectations. Strong relationships. Continuous growth. These aren’t goals for some schools—they’re values across the district.

Make sure to follow along this year on our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, website, Lion Bytes newsletters, Lion Bytes: The Podcast, and District newsletters for ways we are show casing the "We are One" campaign!

We were lucky enough for @Marcus the Barber and Associates LLC to visit a few of our schools this year to give our students haircuts. Students received free haircuts boosting confidence and smiles. This initiative supports families and meets students where they are. Thank you for your support with in LCSD!

LHS West doesn't just celebrate the end of the year, they create something meaningful to remember it by! As part of the end-of-year picnic, students take part in a friendly design contest where the whole school votes on the winning shirt design. Then, the real work begins! From screen printing and multiple test runs to ironing, tie-dyeing, setting the ink, and carefully drying each shirt, our students roll up their sleeves and make it happen. Each student is responsible for five shirts, and the process is as detailed as it is rewarding. Shoutout to Mrs. Waz, who has this production down to a science. Her guidance and passion make this tradition possible year after year. 💙💛
