Congratulations to our Winn-Dixie/Coca-Cola Athletes of the Month, Wajdi Haifa and Sarah Sherley! Here is what their coaches had to say about them. 🏈 🏐 🐉
Wajdi Haifa: Wajdi is one of the most hard working and kind hearted people to be a part of the Dragons football team. Wajdi never gives up. He was diagnosed with cancer last year and missed a big part of the season. He bounced back and recovered just in time to complete his senior year of football. Wajdi also holds a 3.5 GPA in the classroom.
Sarah Sherley: Sarah is such a hard worker, on and off the court. She currently holds a 4.17 GPA and was a crucial part of helping her team reach the regional quarterfinals. She closed out the season with the second most aces of 43 and 135 kills. She brings so much positivity to our team and we look forward to having her back for her senior season next year!
Thank you Highlands News-Sun for hosting Winter Media Day! 🐉 ⚽️ 🏀 📣 🏋️♂️
Just after 9:00 am this morning at Lake Placid High School, a student reported potentially seeing another student in possession of a weapon. The school was placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure, and law enforcement responded immediately. Lake Placid Middle and Lake Placid Elementary were also placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure due to their proximity to LPHS.
After a thorough investigation by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, it was determined that this was not a credible threat. There was no student with a weapon, and there had never been any danger to students or staff.
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. All potential threats against a school are immediately and thoroughly investigated, and we encourage students to always report anything they see or hear regarding a threat against the safety of others.
