Principal’s Desk
Leo High School is having an excellent school year. The Indiana State Board ofEducation (SBOE) officially placed schools in A-F categories for the 2017-2018 school year on November 14, 2018. I am proud to report Leo High School was one of 12 schools in the area receiving an A. A school’s report card grade consists of Graduation Rate, Academic Performance on Standard Tests in the area of Math and Language Arts, and preparation in the area of College and Career Readiness (CCR).
Congratulations to Nathan Fuchs, Austin Barnett and their families. Based on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying tests (PSAT/NMQT), these students were selected as commended students in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Our students are having an excellent school year in classroom and outside the classroom. Tobyn Smith, a senior at Leo High School, was one of two students to earn the 2018 4-H High Achievers Award. Tobyn has participated in 4H for 9 years. Leo High School Junior, Ashley Miller, was named “News Sentinel Softball Player of the Year.” Ashley was a major contributor to Leo’s 25-4 record. The softball team earned both Sectional and Regional Championships during the 2018 season. Isaac Steiner and Eli Herran captured the IHSAA boy’s doubles tennis state championship this fall. We watched our boys’ soccer team win the boys’ soccer sectional.
On Wednesday, November 14, Leo High School had five student athletes sign athletic scholarships to attend college. The student athletes were Alex Bond and Reid Sproat - Soccer, Eli Herran and Isaac Steiner - Tennis; and Addie Sieber - Volleyball.
We are very proud of our students and families for their academic achievement in the classroom and outside the classroom. We wish our students, families, and community a wonderful holiday and we look forward to a productive New Year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Neal Brown III
