From the Principal

Welcome to Lake Forest Hills Elementary School! My name is Sonya Bailey, the Principal of LFH. We have such an exemplary school with students that come each day excited about learning. Our staff works tirelessly to keep up with the best instructional practices and love to keep challenging their students. We currently are pursuing the Primary Years Programme, which is an International Baccalaureate World School. We are in the fundraising stages and will turn in our first application in April 2010. We will keep you updated.
