8th Grade Parent and Student Meetings

On January 31, 2014, the State Board of Education approved House Bill 5 adopting new rules regarding Texas high school curriculum and graduation requirements. In response to these new requirements, Lorena High School will hold mandatory eighth grade parent and student meetings on April 21 and April 24.  Both meetings will be held in the Lorena High School Commons at 6 PM. All current eighth grade parents and students are highly encouraged to attend one of these meetings. Information concerning House Bill 5 curriculum and graduation requirements will be presented, and parents will have an opportunity to ask questions. This information will allow parents and students to make informed decisions regarding freshmen requirements and electives.

At the end of each meeting, parents and students will be asked to complete a 2014-2015 Freshmen Choice Sheet and to select an endorsement. Information regarding endorsements will be presented, and advisers will be available to assist with this process. Choice sheets must be signed and turned in before students can register for their freshmen classes. For more information prior to the meetings, students and parents may reference LHS House Bill 5 graduation requirements and possible endorsements which are located on the Lorena High School website.

You can click here to find all the Info for Incoming Freshmen on the High School's Guidance and Counseling page. Please make plans to attend one of the two important meetings on either April 21 or April 24. For more information, call the high school office at 254-857-4604.

April Teacher of the Month

Congratulations to Dr. Borchardt!!

Dr. Borchardt has been nominated and selected as the Lorena Middle School Teacher of the Month for April.  Dr. Borchardt teaches 6th and 8th grade Social Studies. He also helps with 5th grade math.  

Dr. Borchardt is in his first year of teaching.

Below is a portion from the nomination letter Dr. Borchardt received:

I would like to nominate Dr. B because he is always working hard and doing his best.  He goes out of his way to make sure that everyone understands.  He always has fun lessons and review games.  Dr. B is also super dedicated to his social studies UIL team.  He made sure we had everything and pushed us to do our best.  I couldn't ask for a better History teacher. Dr. B always answers any questions we have and explains everything to us.  He makes class fun and interesting which makes me look forward to 5th period!! He teaches us very well. He is also very nice.  Dr. B never really gets mad, sometimes a little frustrated when kids talk, but he is never rude or mean.  Dr. Borchardt is definitely not a teacher I will soon forget about.

Congratulations Dr. Borchardt!
