Principal’s Desk
Dear Parents:
I would like to welcome parents, students and the community to the 2018-2019 school year. Our primary goal every year is to provide our students a world-class education through a wide variety of opportunities. As we reflect on the 2017-2018 school year at Leo Jr. Sr. High School, once again our school had an outstanding performance.
Leo Jr. Sr. High School…
….is a Four Star School.
in order to achieve this designation, a school must be in the top 25th percentile of
schools in two ISTEP-based categories. Additionally, a qualifying school must have
earned the highest designation in the state’s accountability system and be accredited
by the Indiana Department of Education.
….is an “A” School
Leo Jr. Sr. High School has received a “Grade A” on the school report card from the
Indiana Department of Education for the second consecutive year.
….had three students named National Merit Scholarship Finalists
Leo Jr. Sr. High School students take the Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test
(PSAT/NMSQT) in the fall of their junior year and are considered for the National Merit
Scholarship Program.
….had two students win the prestigious Lilly Endowment Scholarship Award.
The Lilly Endowment Inc. awards full tuition scholarships to selected students from each
county in Indiana.
….band and choir departments are recipients of the Indiana State School Music
Association All Music Award (ISSMA).
ISSMA is presenting the music department a special banner to display in recognition of
these outstanding achievements. It is also noteworthy to recognize that Leo Jr. Sr. High
School is one of a select few schools in the state of Indiana to receive a Total
Department award.
We are very excited about the 2018-2019 school year. The much needed renovation projects at Leo Jr. Sr. High School will be completed by the start of the 2018-2019 school year. Leo Jr. Sr. High School will have a new look this fall. We have new seating and a new sound system for the auditorium. The outside athletic facilities have been upgraded. New restrooms, locker rooms, and concession facilities for softball, baseball and football will be available this year. We will also have a new turf field for band, football, track, and soccer.
We expect the 2018-2019 school year to be very successful for Leo Jr. Sr. High staff and students. We look forward to working collaboratively with parents and students to continually improve the education process. I wish all our students and parents a wonderful and productive school year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Neal Brown III
