Your the absolute best!" - Alexis Bancroft (LHPS Parent) #LHWolfNation

COVID-19 UPDATE Last week, Governor Hutchinson announced that all public health directives (with the exception of the mask mandate) are changing to public health guidance. While a directive is a mandate, the Governor said that guidance is a strong recommendation. Governor Hutchinson will reassess the state's progress in the COVID-19 pandemic as we approach March 31. School districts have been given the authority to continue requiring students, staff, and visitors to abide by Arkansas Department of Health guidance, which includes wearing masks and social distancing. At this time, nothing has changed for staff, students, or visitors to schools/events at Lake Hamilton. The Lake Hamilton School District believes the reason we have made over 115 days of onsite instruction is by following and adhering to Arkansas Department of Health guidelines. Even though the directives (with the exception of the mask mandate) have been changed to guidelines, the district is still required to follow the quarantine and contact tracing guidelines. All staff, students, and visitors on campus will be required to continue wearing masks and social distancing until further notice. #LHWolfNation

Mrs. Moore has gone above and beyond to make sure our babies are healthy, learning, and having fun! I cant thankyou enough!" -Tiffany Crowder (LHPS Parent) #LHWolfNation
