Save the Date! Tuesday, March 25th 7:00 p.m., Teleconference Room in LHWHS

How can I help my Freshman thrive in highschool? What is a blue day? How can my Freshman get involved at the high school and still balance their school work?

Freshman parents, do you have questions about upcoming freshman year and don't know who to ask? Are you a seasoned parent but still feel out of the loop or want to meet other parents? Join the Ladue Horton Watkins High School Parent Association on Tuesday, March 25 at 7:00 p.m. in the Teleconference room to learn from Mr. Mike Tarpey, Class of 2029 principal, upper class students, current freshman students and parents who've been around the block.

Photos Needed for 8th Grade Slideshow

8th grade parents: We'd like your help contributing photos for a slideshow that will be used at the 8th grade end of year party on May 3rd. We're looking for good quality photos of 8th Grade LMS kids, together, doing anything and everything inside and outside of school (please keep them clean and appropriate). We welcome photos and video clips from elementary school through 8th grade. Our goal is for every LMS 8th grader to be included in this slideshow. We prefer photos that have more than one student, if possible. 

Please upload all photos/videos by March 14 to this Google Drive folder. Contact Cara Kopec at (217) 741-6912 if you have questions or issues submitting photos. 

We will make the final video slideshow available digitally to all 8th grade families at the end of the school year. 

Donate to the 8th Grade Celebration Fund

8th grade for LMS students is a special one filled with memorable events throughout the year, involving opportunities for leadership, academics, friends and fun. The year culminates with an end-of-year celebration on May 3rd, featuring rides, games, DJ, and lots of food for our graduates – and a near 100% attendance rate. The event is free for students, paid for by fundraisers and donations through the LMSPA. 

Make a tax-deductible donation to support the 8th grade party and year-end activities HEREThanks for your support!
