Welcome Back Diamonds!!!

The 2017-18 academic year presents opportunities for new beginnings and

changes. Personal and professional changes for improvement can be rewarding

but also challenging and difficult to make and sustain. Newness alone, however,

cannot produce transformation. We all must be willing to actively participate

and work towards the goal(s) we have established for ourselves and our children.

As this year begins, Lower Richland High School has the opportunity to make

new plans, design new strategies, and implement and embrace new ideas.

Whether our responsibility is in administration, teaching, preparing healthy

lunches, maintaining and providing a clean environment, or managing an

efficient and friendly office, there is always room for improvement and for new

ways to do a good job even better. Our goal is to ensure that every student is

academically focused, disciplined, present, on time and ready to learn. The first

official day of school is Tuesday, August 22, 2017. Student schedules will be

mailed on August 11, 2017.

We can be proud of what we have achieved at Lower Richland High School

academically, athletically and competitively, but our achievements are not due to

complacency and satisfaction with the status quo. Our school’s dedicated faculty

and staff have a common goal: To do what is best for students and to always

search for better ways to achieve this goal.

We must concentrate on the processes that spur continuing advancement by

evaluating what we have, determining what we can do to improve, and

identifying what we need to do to make those improvements. The Lower

Richland High School Administration, faculty, and staff look forward to

working with you in meeting the academic needs your child(ren) in a safe and

orderly environment.

Enclosed are some important dates for registration by grade level. Please review

this information carefully. We are anxiously awaiting your return to school and

are confident that you will achieve your goals beyond your greatest potential

during this year.

Sincerely,

Ms. Rose V. Pelzer, Principal
