* Reunion Tours of HS - High School Principal, David Himes wrote "It is great to know that our alumni continue to feel connected to the District. Each year, I have had the opportunity to give tours of the high school to classes that are celebrating a reunion and find these tours to be very enjoyable. During the tour, I always point out the things that have been accomplished as a result of the generosity of the Alumni Association and encourage participants to join the organization." Reunion classes desiring a tour of the high school should contact David Himes at 570-523-3220 or email him at himes_d@dragon.k12.pa.us.

* Auditorium Improvements Completed- The Lewisburg Area High School auditorium improvements are complete. Over the past two years, the Lewisburg Area High School Foundation spent approximately $153,000 on improvements to the high school auditorium. The improvemnets included painting the stage ($4000), new stage curtains ($20,300), new stage floor ($11,700), new stage lighting and electrical work ($53,217), new carpeting ($12,824) and a new sound system ($55,000). In addition, the Foundation loaned the Lewisburg Area Music Association $3500 to purchase a truck to haul instruments to events, like football games and parades. That loan has been repaid in full. The Foundation thanks all alumni and friends who have made donations as well as the generous donation by the Edna Sherry Trust. At the December, 2009 High School Choral Concert, the renovated high school auditorium was dedicated and renamed Alumni Auditorium.
More Donations Needed - To pay for the sound system, our Alumni Foundation loaned our Alumni Association the necessary funds to complete the auditorium renovations. If all goes well with donations and alumni & friends continue to be as generous as they have been in 2008 and 2009, the Association will be able to quickly repay its loan to the Foundation. Donations are needed and put to good use for the students of "Old LHS". Please consider donating to the LAHS Foundation. Checks (payable to Lewisburg Area High School Foundation) should be mailed to the Lewisburg Area High School Foundation, PO Box 228, Lewisburg, PA 17837. All donations are tax deductible.
