2018-2019 Safe Driving Presentations
Mon, 08/06/2018 - 12:22pm
Permission for students to drive and park vehicles on school system property is a privilege, not a right. In order to be granted this privilege, students must obtain a student parking permit each school year, which requires students and parents/guardians to annually attend a driver safety session and to pay a $15 fee for the parking permit. Students must also comply with all school rules related to driving and parking on school property in order to retain this privilege. Session dates are confirmed early in the school year and may be adjusted as necessary. Students do not need to attend a session at their home school. Please confirm all dates and times with the host school prior to attending.

Volunteers Needed: Junior Achievement of Central Maryland
Mon, 05/21/2018 - 11:13am
We have been fortunate enough to be able to bring Junior Achievement of Central Maryland to LRHS on June 1st as part of our financial literacy unit in American Government. They will be running a personal finance simulation where students will create a budget based on a scenario. We are looking for a few volunteers to sit at a table and help students understand their options- for example one table is transportation. Options include purchasing a bike, taking the bus, purchasing a used car, purchasing a new car, etc. Students will need to look at their scenario and their budget and choose an option that fits with their particular budget scenario. The role of the volunteer would be to help students think through the pros and cons of each option. Follow this link to sign up:
