This Faces in the Crowd is part of a three-part in-depth reporting series in honor of LHS’ centennial.
In honor of LHS’ centennial, The Lighthouse asked six faculty members, “What was the best aspect of your high school experience?”
Mr. Carucci
math teacher
Class of 2003
“Having some legendary teachers, such as [history teacher] Mr. Bartlett and [English teacher] Mr. Snyder.”
Dr. DiMaggio
English teacher
Class of 1993
“Because it is a small school, there was a sense of community. I always felt that my teachers knew me and cared about me… even after I graduated.”
Mr. Rasczyk
special education math teacher
Class of 2009
“The friends I made, the great teachers I had and being a part of a great community.”
Nurse Schlameuss
school nurse
Class of 1996
“Hanging out with and meeting my friends — ones that I am still in touch with — going to games and playing softball.”
Coach Tuero
physical education teacher
Class of 2002
“The tradition that came with being a student-athlete. The standard that was set by my previous coaches — that’s what I’m most proud of.”
Ms. Wise
choir director
Class of 1989
“I loved being a part of… a very close community, much smaller than now, and I felt like we knew everybody in town. It made us like a family.”
