It is our tradition here at Lewisville High School to aspire to provide innovative and integrated learning opportunities that prepare students for college and career pathways. We are future-focused and progressively preparing all students to be college or career-ready upon graduation, even as we faced changes to the ways we educate students due to external variables. This year, our faculty and staff continued strong efforts to advance our students in academics, the arts, and athletics, while continuing to navigate a global pandemic that forced us to change how we approached teaching and learning. The foundation for rigorous instruction and life-long learning skills is based on the characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. We pride ourselves on ensuring that all students develop world class skills. Our students have had a sharp focus this year on developing their critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills.
Working collaboratively with all stakeholders, our students have been busy this year with service projects, school functions, and leadership events. This group organized several service projects throughout the school year that included food, school supplies, and toy drives, and continued efforts with the Hazel Pittman Center to educate other youth about drugs and alcohol.
Our students continue to excel academically. The Senior Class of 2022 received scholarship opportunities to continue their education beyond high school. Several students earned perfect scores on their EOCs this school year. Our senior capstone program continued with seniors focusing on college and career readiness, culminating in panel presentations for each senior.
The Guidance Department launched the fall semester with several college access events. Guidance hosted College Application Day in the fall where seniors were assisted in applying to colleges by admissions representatives and were given access to free application codes for college. As the FAFSA opened in October, the guidance departments across the district came together to host Scholarship Night and FAFSA Night. Lewisville High School also hosted its own FAFSA Workshop to assist students and parents in completing the FAFSA with the help of financial aid representatives.
Even through challenging times, Lewisville High not only met but exceeded expectations to meet the needs of every student regardless of the school setting or external obstacles. The faculty and staff stay in constant contact with students and parents to ensure that the line of communication between school and home was vibrant. We believe it is essential to foster a positive relationship with our students, parents and community stake-holders.
At Lewisville High School, we will continue to prepare students to be college and career ready. We are very fortunate to have supportive stakeholders that assist us in this endeavor. We continue to work daily to assist all students in developing the world class skills life and career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.
