a message from the principal
|
Welcome to the post-Memorial Day part of the school year! While it seems like it should be over, there is still a lot going on. We have numerous athletic teams competing in Regional contests. Our Girl's Lacrosse, Boys Soccer, and Girls Tennis teams are still moving on. Check the most up-to-date schedules at Langleysports.org. Our performing arts departments are also having their end-of-year shows. Chorus will perform this Thurs and Fri evening at 7 pm. The final Orchestra concert theme is French Pops! and will take place on Tues, June 6 at 7 pm and the Langley Jazz Band will perform on Thurs, June 8 at 7 pm.
Come out and see a game or a performance! We have wonderful kids, who do amazing things both in and out of the classroom. On that note, our Scholastic Bowl team went to Nationals over the weekend and came in 65th out of over 350 teams. Congrats! Our recent production of Gypsy was nominated for six Cappies! They are also performing on the main stage at the Kennedy Center for the awards.
We have our prom this Saturday at Westwood Country Club, 9 pm to midnight. Please speak with your children about your expectations and appropriate behavior for that evening. We have a crash car in front of our building right now as an example of what can happen when one makes poor decisions. For those students taking buses, please ensure that they are alcohol-free. We want the prom to be a fun event. Since we are in the 30 day window to graduation, we do not want to tell any students they cannot walk at graduation.
Senior exams begin next week, June 6, and our Class of 2017 Graduation ceremony is on June 15, at Constitution Hall and there's no school for underclassmen that day, so younger siblings and teachers can attend. While your kids may think that's a great day to sleep late and hang out, they could also get a jump start on pulling together study materials for exams.
Underclass exams begin on June 19 and school will be dismiss
ed at noon from June 19 through 22.
It's been a fun and eventful year; p
lease help us to finish up in a safe and enjoyable way!
~ Fred Amico, Langley High School Principal

Please encourage your students to take a moment as they leave
 the Langley parking lot to notice the wrecked car.
This car is a very real reminder of the tragic results that can occur when a teenager mixes alcohol and driving.
Help us keep all Langley students safe. Please use the upcoming LHS Prom as an opportunity to once again talk with your child about the importance of making good decisions. The PTSA thanks Willow Spring Towing for their assistance again this year in obtaining the car.
