Congratulations to our Raiders of the Month!

The Raider of the Month program recognizes the many ways our students strive to uphold Raider Nation's expectations.Each month, teachers are asked to nominate a student they feel exemplified one or more of the following areas:

Stay Positive: respect, appropriate language, pride in LR community

Work Hard: punctual and ready to work, professional conduct

Make it Happen: strive for success, believe it is possible, work bell to bell

Based on the nominations received, a committee of teachers votes on the winners. Each grade level will have one student recognized as Raider of the Month. We will have four winners each month, one per grade. Each student nominated should be proud to be recognized as a Raider of the Month nominee! Thank you for all you do to make LRHS a better place!

Important Information Regarding Student Service Learning Hours Graduation  Requirement due to COVID 19:

At this time MSDE is not authorizing a waiver for the SSL Graduation Requirement.  Based on this information we have worked with content area supervisors and have learned that all infused hours will be offered in a remote setting.  Additionally, after meeting with panel of stakeholders to include BCPS Parents, Students, Staff the recommendation moving forward for INDEPENDENT HOURS IS - Safe At Home Independent Projects ONLY be completed until safety measures surrounding the Pandemic change.
