Arrow Family, please welcome Mr. Janson Graves to LHS! Coach Graves will be teaching Logistics & Transportation, and is the new Assistant Coach for football and baseball.
Here's a little about him:
"I'll be teaching Intro to Business, Markets & Analytics, and Supply Chain & Logistics. I'm also involved as an assistant coach for football and baseball, and I'll be the FBLA sponsor. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, hunting, and fishing. I chose to go into education because I want to be a positive role model in students' lives-someone who inspires them to become the best version of themselves and helps prepare them for life after high school."
