Principal Message

Dear LHS Families,

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at London High School! The energy in the building is already building, and we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the new opportunities, experiences, and accomplishments ahead.

This year, we remain focused on fostering a positive, supportive environment where every student can thrive. We encourage our students to make the most of their time at LHS—whether through academics, athletics, clubs, or community involvement—and we’re grateful for the partnership we share with our families in supporting them along the way.

New Bell Schedule
As we begin this school year, please note that we have updated our daily bell schedule. The new schedule aligns with all buildings of the district while providing a start and end time that is 15 minutes later. This bell schedule is below and will also be given with the student schedules.

FinalForms Reminder
Please take a few moments to log into FinalForms and complete or update your student’s information. This process ensures we have accurate emergency contacts, medical details, and activity participation forms on file for the year.

Planning Survey
We also ask that you take a few minutes to complete our 2025–2026 Planning Survey, which helps us better understand how we can support your student and family throughout the year. Your input is valued and important to our continuous improvement.

We’re excited to work together to make this a successful and memorable year for our Red Raiders. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to our front office team.

There are additional items to be aware of below.

Here’s to a great year ahead! Go Red Raiders!
