TWO DAYS A MONTH
That's all it takes to be chronically absent.
Did you know children can fall behind academically if they miss 10% of school days? Being in school supports students' social, emotional, and physical well-being, and provides students with opportunities to learn, achieve, and reach for their dreams.
Congratulations to our cross-country teams on another outstanding weekend. The LMS boys claimed second place and the LHS boys finished in third place at the Mooreville Invitational.
Our band was honored to play the national anthem at the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony this morning at Vaught Hemingway Stadium.

Two Lafayette seniors named as National Merit Scholar Semifinalists
Oxford, MS - Lafayette
Today officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) announced the names of more than 16,000 Semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Included in this prestigious group are Lafayette seniors, Daisy Noble and Andrew Phillips.
These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship® award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.
Over 1.3 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of Semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
From over 16,000 Semifinalists, more than 15,000 are expected to advance to the Finalist level, and in February they will be notified of this designation. All National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from this group of Finalists. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
National Merit Scholarship winners of 2025 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and concluding in July. These scholarship recipients will join more than 382,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title.
Due to expected rains during tonight's football game, the Little Cheer performance is postponed to a later home football game.
Please contact cheer sponsors with any questions.
