Lighthouse School Farewell
Responding to the request from the Lighthouse School to be excused from the 3rd school term (August 2018 – June 2019) of its 3-year occupancy agreement with St. Paul’s, the Vestry has approved an agreement with LHS by the terms of which LHS is released to move its middle school students to the Boys and Girls Club. The Vestry’s Long-Range Planning Committee will continue its investigation of the best options for the use of the three rooms freed from use by LHS. St. Paul’s wishes the Lighthouse School continued success at its new location.
