Congrats to Lamplighter Staff!

Great news!! We received word this morning that several members of our writing team won best of the high school press for their expose on sexual harassment in schools. This story was selected from a pool of 14 finalists around the country for investigative reporting. For context, this is like a Pulitzer Prize for reporting.

We are blown away. Here is a link to the story ICYMI. Please congratulate these AMAZING staff reporters.

Final Exam Schedule

Upcoming Juniors and Seniors

Take this interest survey for CCR!

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Indicate the TOP THREE areas you are interested in being assigned to for the CCR Block next school year. We hope to put you in your 1st choice, but you may be in your 2nd or 3rd due to the demand in each of the areas. Not all of the lessons will be about this particular area, but knowing your interests is helpful in placing you in groups.

Senior Parent Information

Hi Senior Parents! It is a tradition at PLD for the parents of seniors to organize and provide a delicious, grab-and-go breakfast for the senior class following their graduation practice at Dunbar. The practice will be held at 8:30 am on May 31st. The breakfast will start around 10:30 am. We will be serving just under 500 students, so this is quite a task! We need parents to help with food donations as well as help with setting-up, serving, and cleaning-up afterwards. Food can be brought to Dunbar the morning of the 31st, anytime between 8:30 and 9:30 am. Sign up here.

Thank you so much for helping out with this fun event!  Any questions may be sent to mcdrew@twc.com
