Our Class of 2030 (current 8th graders) met with LHHS counselors on Wednesday to pick their high school courses !

We wrapped the day with a friendly Parent Presentation led by LHHS counselors to share what to expect in high school.

Parents learned about upcoming dates, class placements, and the electives that students chose. Students left feeling prepared and excited for their next steps.

Thanks to everyone who joined — students, families, and our counselors! It was such a positive and helpful experience! 🎓💫

Mrs. Severson has been a dedicated teacher and coach for both softball and track at Thunderbolt. Her passion for sports and fitness truly shines. A student shared, she "made me believe in myself." This sentiment perfectly capatures the impact she has on her students. With her unwavering commitment, she spearheaded efforts to transform our small gym into the school's new weight room, reaching out for donations and support to make it a reality. As a result, she has introduced strength and conditioning programs that benefit all of Thunderbolt's athletes. Additionally, she covers for other teachers as needed and leads weekly staff workout sessions, promoting health and wellness within the entire team. Currently, she is mentoring a student teacher, sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport. Her students absolutely adore her; she arrives each day with a bright smile, ready to foster positive and meaningful connections with everyone she meets. Truly, she is a champion for her students in every sense of the word. Congratulations Mrs. Severson!

NJHS students joined Lake Havasu High School Student Council and community leaders for an inspiring Leadership Luncheon! Big thanks to Allison Blum and Ms. Bracamonte for their powerful presentation, and to Student Council for organizing such an amazing event. Our students learned that leadership starts with showing up, believing in themselves, and making a difference — and they practiced setting SMART goals too. Special thanks to Mrs. Ulmer for her help! #Leadership #NJHS #StudentLeaders

When necessary, the Board may vote to go into Executive Session intermittently throughout the meeting, which will not be open to the public, for discussion and consultation for legal advice regarding any of the agenda items (A.R.S. § 38-431.03 (A)(3)). The Board may also vote to go into Executive Session if so noted, which will not be open to the public, to discuss personnel matters (A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(1)), records exempt by law from public inspection (A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(2)), or for legal advice and consultation regarding pending or contemplated litigation (A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(4)).
