Oh the Places They'll Go...



 Congratulations Class of 2017!

LVHS high school students, Anthony Prestage and Randy Kneblick, helped elementary school students Riley C., Patric R., and Gabby A., build a raised garden bed. The older students helped teach basic construction, planting and safe practices when working with tools. Sun Hardware helped fund the project by donating? plants, wood and gardening soil. Now to wait until the first harvest!

Take a moment to congratulate Ila Dannelley on her accomplishments at the recent state art competition. Both of her pieces of artwork received both a perfect score and medal at the state level. In addition, one of her pieces received the highest honor at the state level of a Gold Seal! That is the equivalent of winning first place in the state. She did this not only competing against 3A competition, but every level, 1A through 6A. Out of approximately 32,000 statewide entries she was 1 of only 150 selected! 

Congratulations to the following young ladies for representing Lago Vista High School at the Regional Golf Tournament in San Marcos April 24 & 25.
All of these young ladies had outstanding seasons and represented Lago Vista well at the Regional Tournament. Thank you for your support of the Lago Vista High School Girls Golf Program.

Elizabeth Talley Soph. Placed 8th overall / 98 golfers
Jae Morquecho Sr.

Proud of our Lady Vikings softball team finishing up an outstanding season! Keep 'em going with your support - come out and cheer them on to victory in the Bi-District Playoff Game!

The LVHS Boy's golf team participated in the District 25AAA Golf Tournament. The two-day tournament was held at Ladybird Johnson Municipal Golf Course, in Fredericksburg, TX, and Scott Schreiner Golf Course, in Kerrville, TX, respectively. Other teams competing in the tournament were Blanco, Comfort, Gateway, Ingram, and Johnson City.

After a long road traveled (no pun intended) to get to the district tournament, our varsity boys finished the tournament in 3rd place, with a two-day score of 757, behind Comfort (754), and Blanco (703). Our JV boys finished the tournament in 1st place, with a two-day score of 885. Top ten finishers from our varsity team include Brandon Kendrick, in 7th place, with a two-day score of 173, and Chris Lofton, in 10th place, with a two-day score of 188.

Unfortunately, only the top two teams from each district advance to the regional tournament, so this tournament concludes our run for the state tournament. It has been a fun and eventful year, filled with many memories and positive outlooks for next year's team. We are very proud of these young men and for what they have accomplished.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported our athletes in this year's season. We would like to thank the players for their hard work and for their dedication to the game of golf, and the parents for their support and for their active participation. We would like to thank the LVHS administration for their support and for allowing us to participate in our season tournaments, and the LVHS staff for working with our students in order to make sure that our athletes' academic readiness was not compromised. We would also like to thank the City of Lago Vista for allowing us to use their facilities and for supporting our athletes during the season. Thank you, Coach Hansen for working alongside our boys and for taking over when our boy's coach was attending other school functions. Thank you, Coach Walker, Coach Fowler, Coach Mac, and Justin Walker for being our district golf monitors for the tournament. Thank you, Lago Vista community, for supporting our golf program, on and off the course. If we left anyone out, it was unintentional. We appreciate the support of everyone in our Lago Vista community! GO VIKINGS!!!

                     

Super proud of this year's One Act Play Company for not only advancing out of District, Bi-District, and Area, but also WINNING first place with three 1 rankings, and advancing to the State contest next week - April 18th @ PAC in Bastrop.

As they prepare for the next level of competition, we'd love to invite all to come see their beautiful show this Wednesday, April 12th, at 7pm in the PAC. Doors will open at 6:30 - we hope to see you there!

We are THRILLED to be competing at the highest level and to be in the top 8 in the State for 3A - we started with over 400 schools in the 3A division, so these kids have something pretty big to brag about!
