Dear LHS Parents, Guardians and Students,
Our 2016 seniors excitedly look forward to the enormous next step in their lives, our juniors
eagerly wait to become the next LHS Senior Class, and there is a group of 8th graders
at LMS that anxiously anticipates making the big move to LHS. We have had a great
year this year which has been marked with a number of successes, both academically
and in extracurricular activities. You can read more information about these successes
and keep up to date on everything going on at LHS by accessing the Loganville High
School Facebook page or by viewing the public LHS calendar on our website: www.
loganvillehigh.org.

I want to congratulate two outstanding students, Ivy May and Cameron James,
who both made it through the final stages of state Governor’s Honors interviews and
have been selected to represent Loganville High School this summer in the Governor’s
Honors Program at Valdosta State University. Ivy will be attending the agriculture program
and Cameron will be studying mathematics. You can learn more about the Governor’s
Honors Program (GHP) at https://gosa.georgia.gov/governors-honors-program. Ivy and
Cameron are the only two students selected from the Walton County School District,
so this is quite an honor and we are very proud of their efforts.

As you read this final issue of The Heat for this school year, the staff and students of
LHS feel like we are flying toward EOC’s, final exams, graduation, and summer vacation.
To the parents of the LHS Seniors, I wish a great last month of school for you and
your children. The faculty at LHS has great hope and expectations for these young adults.
The Class of 2016 has surpassed $1.45 million in non-HOPE scholarships so far. While this
is a big number, we ask our parents to send to our counseling department any scholarship
offers you have received. Also, please keep up to date with any senior information on the
LHS website under the “Senior Information” tab. This page also includes very important
information about graduation events, parking, and ticketing. Additionally, you can join
the Remind 101 Senior group by using instructions from the “Senior Information” tab.
Finally, parents, I want to thank you for all of the support that you show to Loganville
High School and for the hard work you put into your children. We have terrific students
at LHS, and it is a pleasure to work with them and with you.
M I S S I O N S T AT E M E N T
To educate all students in meaningful contexts
and encourage continued growth, education,
and success after high school.

LHS Counselors Thank Our Volunteers:
As the 2015-2016 school year comes to a close, the LHS Counseling Department would like to take
this opportunity to thank the many volunteers who have helped in the Counseling Office throughout the
course of this year. There are many parents, students, office aides, teachers, and administrators that
have volunteered their time for events like Registration, Parent Nights, and more. To all of our volunteers,
please accept our deepest appreciation. Your enthusiasm, hard work, and commitment to helping serve
the students of LHS is sincerely appreciated.
LHS Seniors Reach $1,000,000 In Earned Scholarships!!
Students continue to accept financial aid awards from the LHS local scholarship program as well as
from individual colleges and universities around the country, so the total earned scholarships will continue
to climb! If you have received an award letter, please submit a copy to Ms. Williams in the Counseling
Office as soon as possible so that you can be recognized for your great accomplishment, and help raise
the total LHS scholarship amount!
Now is the time to be exploring, goal-setting,
and preparing for your future. Speak to your parents
and/or your counselor to discuss your plans.
