Luray High School

Driver Education and PE classes at Luray High School were able to listen to Stephen Hill speak about his recovery story from drug addict to sobriety. They talked about prevention strategies, being resilient, and laws around drug and alcohol charges and their long term and short term effects.

Thank you, Mrs. Bauserman for your participation in a pre-service and early career panel at James Madison University. Sharing your knowledge and insight with future educators is essential to their development and future careers. LHS is honored to have you as a faculty member.

This year English Learner Night focused on cultural arts. Students learned about Frida Kahlo and created their own self portraits. We did a unit on “The Best Part of Me” where they chose what they liked best about themselves and wrote about it. For their family connect project they picked a famous artist from their home countries and did projects that were displayed. This year we had several teachers join us and our middle school Spanish teacher had her students create projects to display as well. We hope to continue to grow this event and have more of our families participate. Este año la Noche de Estudiantes de Inglés se centró en las artes culturales. Los estudiantes aprendieron sobre Frida Kahlo y crearon sus propios autorretratos. Hicimos una unidad sobre “The Best Part of Me” donde eligieron lo que más les gustaba de ellos mismos y escribieron sobre ello. Para su proyecto de conexión familiar eligieron a un artista famoso de sus países de origen e hicieron proyectos que se exhibieron. Este año tuvimos varios maestros que se unieron a nosotros y nuestra maestra de español de la escuela secundaria hizo que sus alumnos crearan proyectos para exhibir también. Esperamos seguir haciendo crecer este evento y que más familias nuestras participen.

As a culminating project for "Book Club" in Mrs. Alger's English 9 Honors class, students were given the choice of doing a poster or a painting a ceiling tile from her classroom. The projects had to include a scene from the novel, a memorable quote, and a symbol of significance. What great work the students produced. The tiles have now been placed back in her ceiling and the work is on display for all students to see.

Earlier this week, 8th grade students from Luray Middle School visited Luray High to participate in a program designed to help 8th graders transition smoothly into high school. Students from LMS were addressed by principal, Mrs. Clark, assistant principal, Mrs. Meadows, school counselors, teachers, and a variety of student representatives. Student reps spoke about the importance of becoming involved in high school life and the opportunities available to them at LHS. They were then taken in groups on a scavenger hunt to become more acquainted with the building. 8th graders were also given their first official swag (t-shirts) welcoming them to Luray High School. Congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!!
