A Note from Principal Little
It is finally time! Welcome to our inaugural opening of The Lab Academy High School. We are excited to see our founding families and embrace this moment with lots of smiles, positive energy, and kindness. As we build the culture we want to become, we are redefining the way high school looks. Our innovative approach sets the stage to impact our tomorrow and allow every student to be a wise LAHS Owl and soar beyond expectations. As our parents, you are an intricate part of our success.
As we begin this new chapter, I want to remind us of something simple but powerful: It’s the little things that will create our foundation. Nothing is built overnight. We build with intentionality, purpose, and consistency in each small moment—with respect, encouragement, and care. It’s the little things that make a big difference.
