It's not too late to join! Any student currently in grades 8-11 who is interested in playing an instrument in marching band is encouraged to attend Thursday's rehearsal.


Giving Back with Pride!
On Thursday, May 8, 2025, starting at 1:30 PM and finishing around 9:00 PM, a dedicated group of Lake Placid High School students rolled up their sleeves to give back in a big way. Led by Class of 2025 student Mason Register, co-owner of Prestige Power Plus, these hardworking students laid down 30 yards of mulch across the campus grounds, putting in approximately 30 man-hours of work to beautify and improve their school.
We're proud of our students for their leadership, teamwork, and commitment to making a positive impact. A huge shoutout to Mason and his classmates for showing what Dragon Pride is all about! 🐲💚
