Parents and Guardians,
Congratulations to our Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams for their success at the UIL Cross Country State Championships this past weekend. Amy Moreland placed 3rd individually in 5A and led our girl’s team to a 6th place overall finish. The boys were led by Will Muirhead who placed 4th individually and the team was 5th. Both teams had another dominant year and have so much to be proud of. Both our Boys' and Girls' programs are some of the strongest in the state, and our coaches and athletes are incredible representatives of LHS.
Please take a few moments to review important information about upcoming dates, events, and student success below.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

We would be grateful if you would write letters to any teacher or staff member who has been valuable to your child's educational experience. It can be from this current year, or someone who has made an impact in the past. Please label the envelope with “LLC” and the staff or teacher's name, then drop off the letter to the front office of your school by Friday, November 15th.

Senior Projects
The Senior Project is a culminating high school initiative that demonstrates a student’s ability to write, speak, acquire and apply knowledge, solve problems, and apply a variety of skills, including time management and task analysis. It is intended to demonstrate what students know and can do as they prepare to graduate. It prepares them for college and/or the workplace and can help them transform their senior year into one that is uniquely challenging and stimulating. The Senior Project is performance based and adaptable to most topics of interest. We would love to have Junior and Senior parents judging projects this year.
Senior Project Presentations will take place during the 2019-2020 school year at Lovejoy High School on the following dates:
- December 2nd

New! Lovejoy Robotics
All 6 teams from LHS went to Southlake to compete in the Tower Takeover competition and we had many great successes throughout the day. Every team made it to the elimination rounds, which is a fantastic accomplishment, and team 1082B made it to the finals. 1082B (finalists) won the Amaze Award for the best overall design and build. 1082A (semifinalists) won the Innovate Award for best use of the engineering design process.
1082Y, Lovejoy’s first all girls competitive robotics team, did an incredible job at their first full-day competition. They worked hard the entire day revising, building, persevering and they truly showed the heart of a Lovejoy Leopard in how they worked together and battled through the day. We are honored and proud of the great example they set today and we are excited to follow their journey throughout the season.
We are super proud of every team for their accomplishments and efforts at the Southlake competition.
