lh homecoming 2024
2024 Homecoming was a night of magic and memories, with our 10th-grade class transforming Honeycutt Hall into a Princess and the Frog-themed fairy tale wonderland. We were thrilled to welcome students from Church Farm School to join in the fun, making the night even more special.
 
But the party didn’t stop there! While high schoolers danced the night away, our middle schoolers were lighting up the night at a Glow Party, complete with a dance-off, exciting games, and some major glow-in-the-dark vibes!
 
What a perfect way to finish off Spirit Week! Let’s hear it for the 10th grade and everyone who made last night one for the record books!
