Today is an exciting day as our school district enters a new chapter. I am pleased to share with you the official new logo for Leon County Schools! The district is evolving our brand to reflect both the excellence we strive for every day and the diversity within our school system.

We are beginning to gather archives for the classes of 2019-2024 to be displayed in a new filing cabinet in the archive room. Currently, we have archives for each class from the 1930's to 2018. One way to help this process is we are asking Leon graduates from 2019-2024 to bring in Leon archives (photographs, newspapers, etc) that they believe best represents their Leon experience.
This week Leon High School presents its annual PB&J drive with Second Harvest for children in need in our community.

Late this afternoon we were able to test some new, very sophisticated security cameras with state of the art software. As a result, some students may have seen some unfamiliar faces walking the campus with law enforcement and toy weapons. This was just a test and I just want to keep you informed.
This is a reminder that on Thursday, 4/4/24, all 9th and 10th grade students will be taking the B.E.S.T. writing assessment as required by the state. Those students not testing have been assigned to a Study Hall unless you allow them to study at home. However, all students will be attending all classes beginning at 11:00 a.m. Attendance is required and teaching and learning will occur. Our bell schedule is attached. Those students who have dual enrollment or OJT will be allowed to leave at the appropriate time.

As we approach the exciting culmination of your seniors’ high school journey, we are thrilled to offer you a special opportunity to celebrate this momentous occasion while supporting Leon High School. There is ONLY totally unique congratulations yard sign for the Leon High School Class of 2024, with proceeds directly benefiting Leon students… that is the yard sign purchased from Leon Theatre.
Over three decades ago, a group of parents and caring community members started “Project Graduation” at Leon High School. The event allowed for a safe way to celebrate all the accomplishments of our high school graduates. In 2021, due to the pandemic, instead of “Project Graduation” Leon High School held an outdoor Senior Carnival. The carnival was a tremendous success and we have decided to continue this tradition to celebrate the Class of 2024! The incredible success of these past celebrations was a direct reflection of the support and generosity of the Tallahassee business
We are thrilled to extend a dramatic invitation to experience the wit, humor, and timeless relevance of our spring theatre production: "Tartuffe," directed with a fresh and modern twist by our Leon Theatre department. Shows will be this Friday, March 22 at 7:00pm and Saturday, March 23 at 3:00 and 7:00pm.
As you may know, we are administering the SAT to all juniors and select other students tomorrow, March 20th in the morning. Students not taking the SAT will be in a first period study hall unless you allow them to study from home. However, all students will attend 5th and 6th period after our regular lunch as usual. These classes are required and attendance will be taken.

HANNA ABSTEIN SCHOLARSHIP
The Hanna-Abstein Scholarship is funded by Tye Hanna and Stephanie Abstein, both Leon High alumni who wanted to give back to their school. The scholarship is for $3,000 per year for up to four years for one Leon High School graduating senior. The total scholarship is $12,000. As long as the student maintains the required 2.0 college GPA,
It costs more than $40,000 a year to run a band program of Leon’s size and caliber. Costs include the purchase and maintenance of instruments, transportation, care for uniforms, the purchase of music, providing meals at select events, assessment fees, and participating in local and national events.
As some of you know, some list serv messages don't reach the intended recipients and that is not unique to Leon High School. To that end, we will also begin sending email messages through FOCUS Parent Portal. However, we will continue to use list serv as well for the time being as we transition.
Honor Cords are based off of students cumulative GPA after their first seven semesters of high school. Those averages are now finalized! At Leon High School, we use the GPA (weighted or unweighted) that benefits the student the most. A list is posted next to room 320A of all seniors. If a student qualified for an honor cord, it will be listed next to their name. Cords will be distributed AT graduation on May 23. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Garcia in room 319. Attached is the GPA requirements to earn a cord.

I apologize for the delayed email. Earlier today we had a "lock-out" because of a situation that was occurring on a street near our campus. The lockout was necessary in order for law enforcement and administration to make sure those individuals did not get on our campus. The situation was safely resolved before the end of the school day.

I trust that everyone's New Year is off to a smooth start. We are at the start of 3rd 9wks/2nd semester and want to share important attendance reminders.
It is the parent's responsibility to submit notes within three days of absences to avoid truancy warning letters. Failure to excuse students' absences in a timely manner may also result in driver's license holds and or suspension. Students with fifteen or more absences (excused or unexcused) within a 90 day period, may be in jeopardy of participating in school sponsored activities. Medical and extenuating circumstances will be considered.

As you likely know, there was confusion at Friday night's football game in Cox Stadium. I am happy to report that no player or current Leon students were involved in the altercations. However, it is regretful that this even occurred and that everyone missed out on the second half of play. It has definitely, though, prompted us to re-think our safety protocols for football games in general and especially in a large space like Cox Stadium. Safety has to be our top priority.

Don't miss out on an incredible opportunity for your students to win a $250,000 college scholarship! The Breakthrough Junior Challenge 2023 deadline is quickly approaching on June 25th.
Encourage your students (aged 13-18) to enter by creating a < 2-minute video explaining a challenging concept in physics, mathematics, or the life sciences. Not only could they win the scholarship, but you (their teacher) could receive a $50,000 prize, and your school could get a new $100,000 science lab!
It is with great pride that I invite you to come see our family-friendly LIVE production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat this summer!!! This high-quality community production is a true showcase for the talent of students at multiple schools throughout Leon County Schools. We have students or alumni from every high school represented (on the cast or production team), and we boast alumni from almost every middle school as well as 14 of our elementary schools!!
