The Lehman High School Student Council has received notification from the Texas Association of Student Councils that their group has been recognized by the state organization for having one of the most outstanding student councils in Texas. The LHS Student Council was awarded 'Outstanding Student Council', the 'Energy and Environment' Award, and the 'Community Service' award by the TASC. Less than 20% of all student councils win even one TASC award. The TASC made special note of Lehman's Student Council being awarded 3 such awards. The Lehman Student Council is sponsored by Karin Prado and Erin Powell. Congratulations to everyone involved in Student Council.

Please join us next Thursday night, May 3rd at 6:00 in the cafeteria for new tradition at Lehman High School – The First Annual Senior Decision Day at Lehman. This is an evening celebration for seniors, their families, and their teachers, and the Lehman community to announce and celebrate their commitments and plans for their future. Everyone is invited to attend and hear where seniors have chosen to go to college, what branch of military they have volunteered to serve in, what technical school they will go to, what apprenticeship they will start, or what great job they will begin.
