Dear Parents / Guardians:
We’re excited to begin the month of April and welcome a warm spring as we approach the end of the school year. The Rotary Club recently hosted a Speech Competition and we’re pleased to announce that Brian Sullivan is the recipient of a $500 scholarship and advances to districts. Hannah Desmarais also received a scholarship for her 3rd place finish. Congrats to both students! Our annual hair donation to make wigs for cancer patients across the country is called Lancer Lengths and donors have charities our “Angels” can choose from, depending on how many inches of hair they chose to donate. Please see our attached list above of "LHS 2021 Angels"!
We will be hosting the NH Scholar Athlete ceremony in April, honoring seniors who played at least two varsity sports while maintaining a B+ average or higher. We’re pleased that the following student-athletes will be recognized: Reyanna Broadhurst, Kylee Dodge, Matthew Griffin, Ryan Griffin, Grace Holland, Marissa Hyder, Jeffrey Kelly, Nicole Longua, Katie McCudden, Rylee McGrath, Alana Mobbs, Gavin Parent, Delaney Root, Hunter Smith, Jenna Stowell, Lillian Tharrington, Erica Waters, and Ryan Young.
As the proud Principal of Londonderry High School, it pleases me greatly to announce the Top Ten academicians in the Class of 2021. The following seniors have earned cumulative weighted grade point averages of 4.4 or higher after seven calculated semesters of schooling. Congratulations to: Emma Detellis (10th Honors), Sarah Clegg (9th Honors), Katherine Marshall (8th Honors), Carly Butler (7th Honors), Nicole Longua (6th Honors), Delaney Root (5th Honors), Jordan Galluzzo (4th Honors), Adhvika Arunkumar (3rd Honors), Caden Elghazal (Salutatorian), and Madison Walden (Valedictorian). These outstanding students will be honored at a Top Ten Dinner in May and recognized at Graduation in June.
Academically, third quarter grades close April 6th, and will be posted by Wednesday, April 14th. The LHS Music Program will feature the annual Prism Concert on April 10th. To access last year’s show please click: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMhoxvSRfTM&t=3s This year’s event will unfortunately be closed to the public, however we will share the taped performance in the future. The Spring Pep Rally is on April 23rd, and our April Vacation runs from the 26th – 30th. For a complete list of activities please visit our school calendar and sports website.
The Governor has issued an Executive Order for the full return to school beginning on Monday, April 19, 2021. We are currently working hard to develop an appropriate course of action to re-open LHS for in-person instruction five days per week. We will still follow all CDC and Health Department safety recommendations. Fully remote students will remain in their model of schooling. More information will be forthcoming regarding the implementation of our full return to in-person learning.
