A Note to the class of 2014—By Principal Mrs. Jill Warren
Dear Seniors,

as a college student, an employee, a military
trainee, or a trade school apprentice. What
are those new beliefs going to consist of?
What positive beliefs and what negative beliefs will you embrace as you take on this
new role?
It is imperative to pay attention to what
you believe about yourself because it is going to create your life experience. You will
accomplish or not accomplish things, depending upon what you believe about your
ability to do so. Be aware of your beliefs
and work on changing the ones that are
not serving you. No one else can do that
for you. Research and common sense tell
us that a positive self-image is the best
possible preparation for success in life.

Throughout the rest of your life you
will be faced with ups and downs. You will
encounter roadblocks. The beliefs you
hold about yourself will determine the
outcome and impact those ups, downs,
and roadblocks have on your life. Rise
above the misfortunes and remember who
you are, what you stand for, what you
believe, what you want to accomplish.
And, always choose to do the right thing.
You are an amazing group of individuals--full of talent, enthusiasm, compassion,
intelligence, athleticism, creativity, integrity,
honor, pride, courage, and joy. Remember

in control of your destiny. Controlling your
destiny begins with controlling your
thoughts. The mind is the most powerful
part of the human body. Watch your
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in

LCHS senior selected for “Service Above Self Award”
Every year, The Rotary Club of Peoria-North honors high school
seniors with the “Prescott Bloom Service Above Self Award.” This year, the Rotary
selected nine area senior high school students based on a record of outstanding service to
their school and community exemplifying “service above self.” These students logged
hundreds of volunteer hours within their own schools and communities over the last four
years. LCHS senior, Josh Hardy, was one of the students selected to receive this year’s
award.
Josh was awarded and honored at the Rotary’s weekly luncheon on March 13,
2014. He received an award certificate and a $250 scholarship. Josh is the son of Diane
Siegwarth and Jason Alt. Congratulations to Josh on earning this prestigious award!
