Memories
Share your favorite memories, milestone moments, and life events as we celebrate 50 years since graduation and the paths that have brought us here.
I have many cherished memories during my time at LPHS! From being in Swing Choir, a member of the EL PE team, a Bat Girl when our baseball team won STATE, Homecoming, Friday night dances after home games, hanging around at Senior Rail, Proms, GR dances, and many more… some favorite teachers… Mr. D ( Deardurff) , Mr. Burke, Mr. Shei, Coach Schreiber… I’m grateful for those days at LPHS as all my experiences guided me to take on my future dreams with a confident hope.
