Luray High School

🌱🔬 Hands-on science in action!

Ms. Weikle’s Honors Environmental Science class recently conducted an engaging acid rain lab to explore how environmental factors impact plant growth. Students tested varying concentrations of vinegar to simulate acid rain and observed its effect on the germination rates of radish seeds.

Through this experiment, students were able to see firsthand how increasing acidity can influence seed development and overall plant health. It was a great opportunity to connect classroom learning to real-world environmental issues while building critical thinking and data analysis skills.

Science is growing—one seed at a time! 🌍🌿

Yesterday, Mr. Strunk's World History II classes traveled to the Air and Space Museum/ Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Students were able to see more than 200 aircraft on display, including an Air France Concorde and the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay. This museum also holds the largest collections of Japanese and German World War II aircraft in the world. In addition, the museum offers helicopters , commercial, and private airplanes to admire. Also found in the museum are space artifacts, including the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Apollo 11 Mobile Quarantine Facility, space suits, rockets, and more. To view the conservation work that was underway, students could watch through windows into a hangar and see the many works in progress.

Planned by his close friends, family, and coworkers, Mr. Beahm was presented a piano from the Sing for Hope organization to honor his time at Luray High School and in recognition of his 65th Birthday. Mr. Beahm was also gifted some swag from Luray High School, and was treated to musical selections from the LHS Band. At the conclusion of the performance, Mr. Beahm spoke to the students about the importance of taking their education seriously and to always dream big dreams.

Yesterday, 4th grade students from Springfield Elementary School visited Luray High School to finally meet their "pen pals" they have been writing to all year. The Pen Pal Club,. sponsored by Mrs. Brandi Alger and Mrs. Emily Sine, is designed to pair 4th graders with an LHS student to practice writing skills, sharing things about themselves and school life, as well as exchange small gifts during the holidays. At the end of the year the students get to meet their pen pals and engage in some fun activities.

Please note and review the attendance requirements to attend LHS Prom.
