New Hires for LHS:

We have completed the initial screening of the several hundred applications we have received for our various openings for the 2013-14 school year.  Coordinators will be assembling teams to conduct interviews and to observe model lessons (an ideal format for garnering student feedback).  After a brief second interview, each team will arrive at a recommendation for hire to the superintendent.
