2/11: Rising 9th Grade - Open House 

Our Rising 9th Grade Open House will be on Wednesday, February 11th, from 6 pm to 8 pm. We are excited to showcase the vibrant opportunities awaiting your students at Leesville Road HS. We believe this event will empower students and families to make informed decisions about their academic and extracurricular pursuits as they prepare to embark on high school. We are excited to welcome the Class of 2030 to Leesville!

 

Class of 2026  - Senior Cap and Gown Photos

Last call to schedule your Senior Cap and Gown portraits!

These photos are a special tradition to commemorate your hard work and achievements as you prepare for graduation. The session will be held on 2/13/26 in the Media Center.

 

Please note: These specific sessions are for your personal keepsakes and milestone celebrations; they are not the portraits included in the official school yearbook.

  • Sign-Up: Please schedule your session as soon as possible to secure your preferred time slot. Sign up link
  • What to Wear: Lifetouch will provide the cap and gown for your session. For the best look under the gown, we recommend wearing a plain white or black t-shirt (crew neck or V-neck).

Have Questions?

If you have any questions regarding scheduling or photo packages, please reach out directly to the Lifetouch team at bwarea@lifetouch.com.

 

Calling all Juniors - Time to Start Planning your Senior Photos

Class of 2027 families, the senior year is approaching, and senior portraits are the first step in this important milestone.

CADY, our school's new partner for senior portraits, has served for more than 25 years, offering a distinctive approach to senior photography that combines state-of-the-art studios, premier customer service, and magazine-worthy images that truly capture each senior's unique story.

This elevated experience is not your typical school photo day in the gym. Senior portraits are meant to be different and celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime season.

Please take a moment to submit your contact information using the link below.

CADY will use this information to send you everything you need to know: scheduling details, deadlines, outfit tips, reminders, and other important updates.

Completing this form helps ensure your rising senior is fully prepared and that every senior is represented in the upcoming yearbook.
