What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, September 5, 2011

The two campus system was what first appealed to me as a parent. Freshman and Sophomores are at South Campus, Juniors and Seniors at The North Campus. This way you do not have the classic abuse of lower classmates, Seniors messing with Freshman, less corruption by older kids on younger.
There are around 1000 kids in each class. There is a huge opportunity for kids to find their social niche. There is no "Big Man on Campus" there are too many kids, activities and plenty of spotlights for diverse sets of kids. There are tons of clubs, sports, and an excellent TV station and award winning radio station as well as theater and dance classes and clubs.

LT grads are everywhere and stick together. I am very happy my kids went there. They had great teachers, a great education and a great experience. Close Quote
