New/9th Grade Parent Meeting
We welcome all freshmen parents as well as those new to LISD or new to the high school to join us on Wednesday, August 17th at 6:30 pm in the LHS Auditorium.
School Supplies
Compiling a list of common items needed for Lovejoy High School is a bit difficult considering the diversity of classes that a typical student can take. Knowing that many of you may want to shop for school supplies before you receive the complete list from teachers on the 1st day of school, we invite you to click SUPPLIES to consult a spreadsheet that details what items are needed for each department. Please note that there are 5 tabs, one for each of the core subjects: English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and LOTE.
Parking Permits

The schedule for purchasing a parking permit for the 2017-18 School Year is as follows:

The purchase window will open at 9:00 am each day.

Student Recognition
LHS HOSA
Lovejoy had two students qualify to compete at the Health Occupation Students of America
40th International Leadership Conference (HOSA ILC). Lauren Payne and Taylor Carty worked hard to prepare for several levels of written and skills tests throughout the year. Even after graduation, they met up to practice skills and continued to work through the text books for the written tests. Their hard work and dedication paid off with both girls getting called up to the stage for recognition as top ten finalist.
Lauren Payne earned 5th place in Sports Medicine (also 2016 HOSA ILC Sports Medicine 5th place finish)
Taylor Carty earned 2nd place in Clinical Nursing
Lauren will be attending Rice University and Taylor will be attending Pepperdine University this fall. Both are planning on going on to medical school once they graduate.
