News From LCHS 4/26/24
Dear LCHS Community,
It is hard to believe that we are close to wrapping up the month of April. We really appreciate students showing up and participating in state testing over the past few weeks. Students did a fantastic job and we look forward to seeing their results. This week students completed course selections for next year. They filled out a paper form and inputted their selections into our scheduling software. The counseling department will work on schedules over the next weeks and we will update you when students receive them for review. Additionally, when we come back in August families and crew teachers will have conversations about which graduation pillar is best for their student based on their post-secondary interests.
We have some exciting events coming up over the next couple of months here at LCHS and we want to make sure to get them on your calendar!
Saturday, May 4th: LCHS Prom (7PM) Guest passes must be turned in on May 3rd!

Hiring committee Elementary principal stakeholder feedback sessions
Are you interested in participating in the Lake County Elementary School principal hiring process? We are looking for stakeholders of staff, parents and community members to engage in this process. We anticipate running a process similar to that of the high school principal, in which candidates will rotate through interviews with different stakeholder groups and provide feedback. If you would like to be involved, we would appreciate that you use this form to sign up. We anticipate the stakeholder interview sessions to be held the week of May 13-17. We intend to follow this event up with a staff and community meet and greet of finalists that would be open to the public the week of May 20th

LCHS Senators Attend Capitol
On April 12, the Student Senate of Lake County High School traveled to the State Capitol in Denver to meet elected representatives, sit on the floors of both legislative houses during official business, and take in the sights and sounds of the majestic building.
LCHS’ Student Senate, composed of 20 elected representatives from the 9th-12 grades (5 reps per grade), arrived at 8 am on April 12 to begin their day meeting Jordan Sanchez. Sanchez is an LCHS grad, small business owner, and works daily in the Capitol as a lobbyist. Soon, there was a meet and greet with Lake County’s State Senator, Mark Baisley (Dist. 4). Senator Baisley and his aide, Mike, took the students on a brief tour of the grand building including a trip to a hearing room. Once upstairs, the group was shown to the Senate floor, they were greeted by other state elected representatives.
After some decorum and pomp, from their advantageous seats, the pupils soon took in the full workings of legislative government. Senator Baisley took a moment in front of the body to publicly acknowledge the Panthers to which an applause spread around the floor and balcony. The students moved on to the House of Representatives after some time.
Jordan, in conjunction with Senator Baisley and Speaker of the House Julie McCluskie’s (Dist. 13) office, again secured prime seats on the House’s floor for a contentious bill banning sales of assault weapons in Colorado. The House floor was a bit more lax with formalities so the students were able to have their phones out, snapping pictures and shaking hands with House of Representatives members. Ms. Sanchez then hosted the LCHS attendees for lunch.
The students were able to reach the rotunda for a majestic view of Denver and the snow-capped mountains, just before their meeting with Speaker McCluskie. Speaker McCluskie took and asked questions from the Leadville group. She was most pleased to hear about the students’ plans for their future and their perspectives on issues.
The State Capitol rolled out the red carpet for the Leadville youths. The building, culture, and governmental process left the young adults with memories to last a lifetime.
