News From LCHS 8/15/25

by fvillarreal · August 15, 2025

Dear LCHS Families,

As we finish our first week, one word stands out: gratitude. I am grateful for the resilience that our students showed, the care and professionalism our staff showed, and the trust our families put into us.

This is by far the way I expected our first week back at school to go and I am proud of our students and staff for their response. I want to acknowledge that I know the events on Monday may have caused a great deal of fear and anxiety. These are not situations or decisions that are taken lightly and please know that as the leader of this building the safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance to me.

As we continue to move forward, please know that my door is always open. You can reach out to me at scarroll@lakecountyschools.net or by calling Fernanda at 719.486.6950 to setup an appointment.

I hope that everyone is able to have a restful weekend.

Best,

Scott Carroll

Principal

Lake County High School

It’s time for FALL SPORTS!! Boys golf has already participated in 2 tournaments, but the action for the rest of our high school teams kicks off next weekend!! We’d like to celebrate the start of the new season with a Community Pep Rally at Community Park Field next Friday, August 22 at 3:40 pm just before the start of the boys’ soccer game against Mead High School. Please wear your purple and gold and come out to show your support for our Panther family!
