This school year, LHS welcomed four new faculty members. Each teacher was asked, “What do you hope to contribute to LHS?”

Ms. Atshan
applied behavior analysis teacher
“I hope to create an environment where my students feel valued and supported, all while learning how to independently care for themselves…. I also hope to promote greater understanding, acceptance and inclusion throughout the school.”

Señora Mullen
Spanish teacher
“As an LHS alumna, it means a lot to me to now have the opportunity to give back to the same community that helped shape who I am. I hope to create meaningful connections with my students and bring my passion for the Spanish language and culture beyond my classroom.”

Mr. Pei
special education math teacher
“I hope to help students at LHS build confidence in mathematics and feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. I want to create a supportive classroom where every student feels valued and encouraged to keep trying.”

Sgt. White
School Resource Officer
“I hope to bring a positive, approachable and secure environment to the students and staff…. I look to continue with the great work that Lieutenant [Steven] Passamano has done for everybody that has walked these halls.”
