The Lewisville High School triad and feeder middle schools will host a “What is Your Plan?” parent and student night on Wednesday, Jan. 27 from 6-9 p.m. at Leo C. Stuver Auditorium. Legendary WFAA Channel 8 news anchor Gloria Campos will serve as the keynote speaker.<http://www.lisd.net/cms/lib010/TX01918037/Centricity/Domain/4/Gloria%20Campos%20Bio.pdf
The free event for Lewisville ISD Central Zone parents and students in grades 6-12 will feature information about different class offerings surrounding advanced placement (AP) courses, online classes, dual credit, college courses at the high school level, athletics and fine arts, as well as informational sessions about grade-point average (GPA) and the class rank process.
Breakout sessions will be held for “all grade levels,” “high school,” “8th to 9th grade” and “middle school.”
Representatives for post-secondary paths for students, such as college, the armed services and career tech schools, will be in attendance.
“It is never too early or too late to get your plan in place,” LHS Principal Jeffrey Kajs said. “Not having a plan is not an option. No matter what your post high school career path is, you need to plan your path now! Setting yourself up for success does not happen by accident.”
Raffles will be held for all those in attendance with prizes such as laptops, iPads, televisions, miniature refrigerators and restaurant gift cards. Light refreshments will be served and the LHS Student Council will provide free childcare. No RSVP is needed.
