Additionally, the Texas Association of Community Schools awarded Senior Lydia Payne a scholarship on May 12. Payne is in basketball, track, NHS and has participated in Academic Rodeo. 

”It means so much to me to be recognized and receive this scholarship,” Payne said. “It is such an honor to be chosen to represent LHS in this way.”
