Lakeside has had a phenomenal year-both academically and athletically. Our Power Period initiative has given remediation or "help" to hundreds of students. Likewise, our students needing enrichment received a variety of interesting topics throughout the year that they otherwise would not have received. It was a lot of work on our staff's part, but it was definitely worthwhile. We are already looking forward to improving this process for next year to make it even more effective. On the playing fields, our Panthers have been just as successful. In the final standings of the Georgia Athletic Directors Cup Competition, Lakeside finished as the top ranked AAAA public school athletic program in the state! That is really a great accomplishment to our coaches and athletes!
In closing, I want to thank everyone associated with Lakeside for allowing me the privilege of being the Principal for the past 8 years. I am moving on to a different position in our system and it is a bittersweet parting for me. We have always been known for our academics-and now for our athletics, too...but I'll miss the people and relationships that have made all this possible over the years-the teachers, the kids, the parents-everyone that works together to make Lakeside the special place that it is. I look forward to remaining a Panther Parent for the next several years as both of my sons matriculate through Lakeside. There is no other school I'd want my own kids to attend-and I am very grateful for the opportunity to remain involved with this community. Our new Principal, Dr. Steve Rhodes, is very excited about coming to Lakeside and I simply ask that you extend the same Panther Pride to him so that he can take our school to new heights. With your support, the best is yet to come!
GO LAKESIDE!

Ten Days and Counting!
Wow! Time is really flying by now. Our Spring Sports have had tremendously successful seasons. Our boys tennis team made it to the Final Four and our girls tennis team made to the Quarterfinals. Our boys and girls soccer teams both advanced to the state quarterfinals. Our baseball team just won the first round of state and is hosting the second round this Wednesday vs. Lee County. Our girls track team just finished 4th in the state behind strong performances from Anna Bowles (state champion) and Katie Townsend. Way to go, Panthers!
We are in our last week of standardized testing. AP Exams run all week long as does EOCT's. Check out the calendar link to see which test is given on each day. The following week consists of two normal days of school and then 3 exam days. Exam exemption forms are to be turned in to the front office to Mr. Reeve. On exam days, there are two semester exams given each day. After those two exams, the remainder of the day consists of two study sessions for the next day's exams. Any students that remain at school after exams must attend study sessions...they cannot wait in the commons, media center or outside of the school. Buses will pick up students at the normal time during exams (2:50pm).
Graduation practice will be held on Friday May 21 at 1pm. Seniors must be there on time! If you don't show up for practice, you don't participate in the graduation-no exceptions!
Good luck to all of our students during the final ten days of school....GO PANTHERS!
