Cate Kitcher - Mustangs Ahead
(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL)- Lakewood Ranch High School (LRHS) held junior and senior grade level assemblies on Thursday, covering essential information for the 2026-27 school year.
Principal Mike Mullen introduced himself at these assemblies and gave upperclassman a piece of advice.
Mullen said, “If ...you just go to school for seven periods a day, and then you go home. Well, then your high school career isn't going to be nearly as exciting or fun, or you won't open the doors to your future as much.”
Topics that were discussed at both the assemblies included safety, parking, extracurriculars, the right of ways in the courtyard, and dress codes.
