Staff: Mr. Osborn has steadily built a strong science program at LAHS. He has committed several years to this endeavor and the program is getting stronger every year. Keep up the good work..
JH - Esias Barrios has been showing outstanding growth and maturity. He is very helpful in class by helping put materials away. Has been very respectful to his teachers. He has also been tolerant with his struggles and has been asking for assistance instead of acting out.
