History Department - Past Projects
The department has also sponsored history activities involving art work and original research into the history of L-S. In the old building, students painted murals with historical themes, some of which have been reproduced and are now being displayed in the new building. Three histories of the school have been written, one by a student group in 1994. Finally, a student/teacher effort also created a more image-based overview of L-S history and culture. These projects can be found on-line through the following links:
