Coach Main had the opportunity today to attend a keynote address from nationally renowned speaker and artificial intelligence thought-leader, Todd McLees. The presentation was titled Building AI Agility: Empowering Human Flourishing in the AI Economy. Coach Main took home a better idea of how recent and expected generative AI advancements are already impacting businesses and the economy at large and is now more prepared to prepare his students for the AI future. Thank you Kilgore College for being such a wonderful educational partner of LHS and for bringing opportunities like this to our back yard!

10 of our level 1-3 students spent their morning attending the UIL student activity conference at Tyler Junior College. The students attended five 45 minute sessions presented by Dr. Shyamal Mitra from the University of Texas Department of Computer Science. Topics included CS contest rules, computational thinking, Java syntax, basic algorithms, and computing resources. Thank you Dr. Mitra for an engaging and educational morning!

Today Sreen and Moses received their letterman jackets for advancing to regional competition last year! We are to see what our co-captains can do in their Junior year of competition this year in 6A!

The first chess club meetup is tomorrow! PLEASE NOTE: The previous flyer with the start and end times was incorrect. The end time is 8:10, not 8:15. We cannot wait to see y'all tomorrow morning!
