It’s not just for LHHS families anymore! The LHHS PTSA Grad Nite PREVIEW Event (and Salute to Hawk Alumni) is a great opportunity to show everyone in the Saddleback Valley what a REAL graduation celebration can be. We are very proud of the fact that LHHS is one of only four Orange County high schools that puts on a “safe & sober” celebration ON our campus, IN our community, FOR our kids. ** (Note: This is an adults only event as we want to preserve the surprise factor for students.)


This amazing venue will be open to the public Wednesday, June 13th, from 5 - 7:30 pm. Several of our Win-Win-Wednesday partners will be offering light refreshments and you can see for yourself the incredible transformation of our school. There will be many current and former faculty members on hand and, at 6:00pm, we will introduce the 2012 Hawk Hall of Fame honorees, including Mr. "Stoney" Stonebarger.
