On April 29, Headmaster Roger Perry sent a heartfelt thank you to the Lakehill community for their dedication, flexibility, and continued support.
"I am so proud of our outstanding students and their accomplishments via distance learning - it continues to inspire me on a daily basis. I am grateful for our families, teachers, staff, and Board of Directors who have all given extraordinary efforts to support continued learning throughout our school closure. We miss all of you, and wish we could finish the year together."
Plans continue to be finalized for Baccalaureate and Commencement Ceremonies should the school be allowed to hold them this summer. A back-up plan is in place for virtual ceremonies, should in-person events not be possible. Plans for other events are being finalized and a decision on the 2020 Summer Camps Program will be communicated on May 1.
Lakehill will continue to assess operations and develop a plan for the fall semester and beyond. "Our Warrior community is like no other, and I am confident that we will make it through these challenges together."

Senior Spotlight: National Junior Honor Society Highlights Lakehill's Soon-to-be Graduates
|
In an effort to reveal the hidden talents, personalities, and accomplishments of Lakehill's most experienced students, the National Junior Honor Society presents:
NJHS Spotlight on Seniors
This week's senior: Gaige McKnight
Gaige McKnight is a Lakehill Lifer, having attended Lakehill since kindergarten. He has been a member of the Varsity Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track teams. He also played the role of Audrey 2 in the Upper School production of
Little Shop of Horrors.
Gaige says his favorite classes were art classes with Mr. Boles because class always had a good vibe, and his projects make art enjoyable to create. His favorite memory at Lakehill is the Fifth Grade Adventure Week trip when he and his grade went to Mo Ranch. Outside of school, he enjoys hanging out with his friends and playing football.
Gaige is considering Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, Arizona Western College, Iowa Western College, and Graceland University, and plans to major in sports management.
His advice to young Warriors is, “Study, or it will affect you in the long run.”
