Junior students, accompanied by Mrs. Lagarde and Mr. Scriber, toured Nicholls University to learn more about the many opportunities and degree programs available. Thank you to Kirsten Hill for the wonderful tour and admissions presentation. We also met a recent LHS alum on his way to class at Nicholls. After a taste of college life at the student dining hall, students enjoyed a VIP interactive tour of the mass communications department. Students were on the news, live on the radio, learned about student journalism, and even "flew" a drone. Thank you to Professor Lance Arnold and staff for making our visit so fun and memorable! In celebration of Black History Month, students in Mrs. Lagarde's art classes learned more about Jean-Michel Basquiat, a modern neoexpressionist artist. Basquiat's artwork dealt with themes of racism, classism, and other power structures and their effects on U.S. society. Students created their own works inspired by Basquiat. Great job, Gyphons! Early morning on Saturday, February 24th, 36 Lutheran High students, accompanied by Mrs. Lagarde and Ms. Loughmiller, traveled to Southeastern University in Hammond to compete in the Louisiana District Literary Rally. Students took academic tests in specific subjects and competed with other New Orleans area schools in our division. Art students entered artworks in specific categories and were judged against all participating New Orleans schools within that category. All enjoyed the Rock-N-Roar event sponsored by Southeastern University which included food booths, face painting, games, activities, and informative booths detailing the many academic and social aspects of college life. While academic scores are not yet official, four art students placed in their individual art competition categories at the District level! Congratulations to all of our students for representing us so well at Southeastern today. #GryphonPride #WeAreLuHigh On Wednesday, February 21, senior students, accompanied by Mr. Scriber and Ms. Loughmiller, participated in National Engineer's Day hosted by the University of New Orleans. Students enjoyed various hands-on engineering projects and presentations, and the “Dream Big: Engineering Our World” movie produced in partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers. At the event, students were immersed in space exploration through a portable and inflatable planetarium provided by NASA, highlighting the significance and safety of viewing the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. NASA and Boing also gave insight into their next mission, Artemis II, to establish a long-term presence on the Moon for science and exploration. Students witnessed first-hand the effects of decreasing the environmental pressure to make water boil in an experiment with Peeps candy, built paper helicopters that spun and flew as high as the ceiling, and generated electricity to power lights by riding a stationary bike. UNO engineering students designed a Baja kart that intrigued all Engineer's Day participants. It was a great day for our students as they learned more about engineers' roles and how they impact our world and lives. #gryphonengineers |
