Our Team

Our educators are passionate about their roles both inside and outside of the classroom. They are mentors and role models, as well as classroom facilitators.

 

It is important that our students feel challenged to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. At LGHS, they will be surrounded by people who are invested in their growth and want nothing more than to help them succeed.
