Parents and Guardians,
In case you hadn’t noticed, we are quickly approaching the halfway point of the fall semester. Next Thursday, October 7th marks the end of the first grading period. It also provides a break for students and staff with holidays on Friday, October 8th and Monday, October 11th. As you review your student’s current academic progress please encourage them to finish these next two weeks strong and to reach out to their teachers for extra help if they need it.
On Wednesday, October 13th all 9th through 11th graders will be taking the PSAT here at LHS. Since they are not testing, 12th grade students should not report to LHS until 1:00 p.m. When they arrive they should report to the LHS Auditorium for a presentation about ordering items for Seniors from Jostens.
The next few weeks have quite a few important dates and events for our LHS students. Please take a few minutes to review the information below to stay informed.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

Senior Projects
The Senior Project is a culminating high school experience that allows students to demonstrate their abilities 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. The Senior Project prepares students for college and/or the workplace, and it can help them transform the 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 2021-2022 school year at Lovejoy High School on the following dates:
November 17, 2021
December 2, 2021
January 11, 2022
February 10, 2022
If you are interested in supporting/judging senior projects this year, please use the Google Form to sign up for any date(s) that you are available: Senior Project Judge Sign-Up
Please have students check the Class of 2022 Google Classroom for Senior Project information. Students can also access templates for each portfolio document under the Classwork tab. If parents have any additional questions, they may visit the Senior Project pages on the school’s website.

Please help us congratulate your students on a strong showing this past weekend at the Golden Triangle Classic!!
The band was a strong competitor in a group of 17 total band programs. First, the group made the cut of the top 10 to gain a spot in finals along with tying for first place in the music caption and 2nd place in the percussion caption after our first round of performances. As sometimes happens as judges switch captions for finals, we dropped from 3rd overall to 4th in finals by a hair, but we saw our colorguard move up to the second place rank...go guard!
