SPOTLIGHT ON THE RED DEVIL BAND!
Mr. Myers recently sat down with two outstanding senior leaders of the Red Devil Band — Briana Fisher and Davion Savoy — both lifelong Lancaster Public Schools students who have been part of our school district since Pre-K!
When asked what they love most about being in the band, both Briana and Davion said the same thing without hesitation: Mr. Flester. They described him as a father figure — a patient, dedicated instructor who truly works with every student. They also lit up talking about their bandmates and the unforgettable band trips they've shared along the way. And of course, both seniors are loving everything about the new school, especially the incredible lighting and theater!
Their advice to any younger student thinking about joining the band? "The band is like a family, and it's definitely worth your time." With a leader like Mr. Flester in your corner — someone who is endlessly patient and always willing to help you grow — it's easy to see why.
And the growth speaks for itself. Four years ago, the Marching Band had just 18 members. Then it grew to the mid-30s... then the low 60s last year... and now, with the flag group included, the Red Devil Marching Band is MID-80s STRONG this year!
Thank you, Mr. Flester, for your unwavering dedication to our students and this incredible program. Here's to a fantastic 28th year in education (25 of them right here in Lancaster)!

Principal Mike Myers recently had a conversation with the LHS JROTC top three student leaders. Left to Right: Executive Officer - Evan George, Deputy Squadron Leader - Liam Harding, and Squadron Leader - Salina Carter. All three seniors were impressed with the new school and especially the JROTC facilities. Executive Officer Evan George said the new school felt like a college atmosphere with open areas for students to experience.
To the question - What is great about JROTC the students said the following:
Carter - JROTC builds your confidence by taking you out of your comfort zone.
Harding - JROTC gives you structure and helps you become a better person.
George - JROTC is an opportunity. An opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself, an opportunity to build your personality and an opportunity to be able to give back to your community.
All three students encouraged younger students to join JROTC and their advice to younger JROTC students was to sign up for everything, every trip and experience.
To the question of what has been your favorite part of JROTC all three quickly emphatically said MCOLS. The students described MCOLS as a week-long team building camp that tests you mentally and physically. Liam said nothing beats MCOLs although he enjoys Color Guard. Evan George stated that he really liked the conversations with his instructors, the life stories that are so impacting.

They also accept Medicaid. They will perform exams, cleanings, x-rays, and fillings. Your child may not be seen if it has been less than 6 months from their last dental visit.
