Based on performance on the 2008 PSAT, several LHS students have qualified for recognition as outstanding American high school students in different scholarship programs. More than 1.5 million juniors entered the 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Two LHS students have been recognized as National Merit Semifinalists, who represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors who earned the highest scores.

Leander High School would like to offer you an opportunity to volunteer at our high school. Each year, all senior students in English IV classes complete a research or literary analysis paper and presentation called "Senior Project." These presentations are made before a panel of judges, and you are invited to serve on one of these panels. The presentations for AP and ACC students will take place from 4-6 on the date below:

Leander High School
December 3 (AP Senior English & ACC students); Regular Academic Senior Presentations will be during Advisory classes in February

Training session for all new judges will be conducted from 3:00-3:30 PM on the presentation day at LHS. Light refreshments will be provided for the judges from 3-4 PM. Returning judges need to report to the campuses by 3:45 PM. There is also a short reception following the presentations each day.

Advisory classes recently participated in a door decorating contest to increase awareness of post-secondary education. Heermans' Hopefuls, the students in GiGi Heermans' advisory class, took first place, but the conversations generated from this activity will help all of our students make more educated decisions in pursuing post-secondary education. See a PowerPoint presentation below to see how they expressed their goals.
