Dear Family,

Happy 2026 and Welcome to the second semester, senior families! We hope your holidays were relaxing and memorable. As we enter the final months at La Canada High School, we're excited to create meaningful opportunities for our seniors to come together and celebrate this milestone year.

One of our most cherished traditions is the Senior Brunch, held immediately following graduation rehearsal on June 3rd, will give our students a cherished opportunity to come together one last time before graduation. This event gives our students a chance to gather one last time before graduation to enjoy food, activities,and a celebratory raffle as they prepare for their next chapter. 

The raffle will feature practical and fun items to support life after LCHS, including college necessities, gift cards, and other exciting prizes. CLICK HERE to contribute via the form. If you are interested in donating larger or specific items or experiences, please contact Sandi Trimble and Erica Gross.

Before then, we're kicking off second semester with a Senior Taco Lunch on Friday, January 23rd! Seniors ONLY, are invited to join us behind the North Gym during lunch (12:03) for tacos, cold drinks, and music as we celebrate the start of their second semester. 

All Senior Activities are offered to every member of the Class of 2026 and are funded entirely through the generous support of senior families. Donations of any amount make these events possible and can be made through our Online Order form HERE. 

If you have any questions, we're happy to help! Please reach out to us at senioractivities@lchsptsa.org

Here's to celebrating an unforgettable year with our incredible Class of 2026!

Best,

Designed by the LCHS art department (design to be revealed soon) our traditional senior yard signs are available to honor all graduates.  We believe every senior can be recognized, regardless of circumstances:

• Signs can be displayed at any location meaningful to your family - whether at a current residence, with relatives(or buy a second for the grandparents) or at a temporary home.
• For families who prefer an alternative location, we can coordinating with local businesses and community partners who have offered to display signs.

Every senior deserves to be celebrated, and we're committed to working with each family to find a way to honor your graduate in a way that works for you.

Graduation is around the corner! Congratulate your graduate with a fresh, fragrant flower lei (red & gold or white) to wear during their ceremony. Lei sales fund our senior brunch -- we appreciate your participation as we all celebrate the Class of 2026.
