🎉 CTE Success at Lake Placid High School! 🎉
Congratulations to our amazing Lake Placid High School students who recently earned industry certifications in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Intuit QuickBooks!
These certifications show our students are mastering real-world, career-ready skills used every day in fields like graphic design, marketing, business, finance, and accounting. Through our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, students gain hands-on experience, industry knowledge, and credentials that give them a strong advantage for college, careers, and the workforce.
We are proud of our students for their hard work and dedication—and grateful for our CTE teachers who continue to prepare Green Dragons for success beyond the classroom.
👏 Way to go, Dragons!

Today, our LPHS Culinary students, under the leadership of Mr. Skalski, treated our faculty and staff to an absolutely delicious Thanksgiving lunch. From carved ham and roasted turkey to mashed potatoes, fresh salads, warm rolls, and homemade desserts, every dish was prepared and served with incredible care and professionalism.

Our kitchen and dining room were filled with teamwork, holiday spirit, and plenty of full plates! Staff enjoyed a beautifully organized buffet line, festive table settings, and plenty of time to sit together and share a Thanksgiving meal as a school family.

We are so grateful for the hard work, time, and culinary skill poured into this event.

💚 Thank you, LPHS Culinary and Mr. Skalski, for making today extra special!
