Alumni Day | Spring 2024
Alumni Magazine | Spring 2024
As a newcomer to LWHS, I have had the pleasure this year of discovering how special this community is. Since arriving last summer, I have learned what you, our alumni, know first hand: that LWHS sparks a unique kind of creativity and curiosity among students and faculty alike. It has been so exciting to see examples of that spark everywhere I look, and I am grateful for the welcome I have received from every corner of the community.

Matter of Trust
Since 1998, Lisa Gautier's organization, Matter of Trust, has lived their public purpose by creating hair mats from donated hair from around the globe. The organization has worked to export hair matting machines around the world to increase their impact. While their hair mats have been used to clean up oil spills and even as filtration for spacecraft, they have done so much more! Check out the website to learn more about all they've done and their achievements.

Minimal Decencies
Created by longtime English faculty member, Eleanor Burke, who taught at LWHS from 1978-1995, this guide has served as an important writing tool for many LWHS students and alumni. For those who did not have the pleasure of having Ms. Burke as an English teacher, we hope this is one small way to commemorate her legacy among the LWHS community.
