Dear Lancer Families,
This has been a year of challenges and opportunities. A fellow Lancer told me “Tough days come and go, but tough people endure.” It is in this spirit that I am very proud of the hard work of our students and staff, who are committed to learning and growth. We believe in ourselves, and we will never give up. We are very are focused on the work of our School Improvement Plan so that we can see the best results for all of our students.

Our operating hours are 8am-4:30pm M-F and we ask for a commitment of 1 hour twice per week at La Follette High School working one-on-one with a student.
