Black History Month Celebration

​LHS students and faculty celebrated Black History Month through in-class lessons, art, and a school-wide assembly. At our assembly, students and faculty celebrated Black History through song across the decades and concluded with reading an excerpt from Amanda Gorman's poem, "The Hill We Climb." We were blessed to have Pastor Nare offer our opening and closing prayers. Thank you to Mrs. Hansen, who shared personal remarks and acted as Mistress of Ceremonies, the Lutheran High Choir, directed by Mr. Scriber, who performed a variety of anthems and songs, and our student readers. We are also pleased to share the work of our art students who created their own African masks using pencil, crayon, and watercolor paints. They were inspired by the work of Lois Mailou Jones, who emphasized African culture, especially African masks.
