Freshman Family Coffee - Sept. 8th at 9am

Freshman parents are invited to join us on September 8th at 9am for a cup of coffee in the Cafeteria for an informal presentation by Mr. Cartnal.  You’ll hear helpful information about what to expect as your student begins their high school journey and have the chance to ask any questions that you have.

Please sign in at the front office before coming to the meeting in the Cafeteria.  

Annual Tailgate Party is Sept. 8th!

Every year, LCHS PTSA, LCHS 7/8 PTA and Boosters organize a fun Tailgate Party at the start of football season. Families gather outside the football field as we play games, listen to a great DJ and enjoy delicious freshly prepared burgers from The Habit. A spirit tunnel is created by those present and our teams run through it and onto the field to kick off the Spartan athletics season. Tailgate is a membership event for both organizations and we encourage everyone to attend and support our important organizations.

The 2023 Tailgate will be Friday, September 8th at 5:00 pm, prior to the LCHS vs. Santa Paula High School. Parent volunteers are needed to make this fun event a success. Go to the Spartan Order Form to purchase food tickets in advance and sign up to volunteer.
