wife and 8 year old son, Eli, in north
Seattle. When asked what he likes best
about Lynnwood High School, Mr. Golden
said, “In over thirty years of
education, I have never been involved
in a school that had a more considerate
and kind group of students and staff.
There is a sense of family at Lynnwood
that just doesn’t usually exist
in high schools today. We are a really
good school aiming to be even better.” |
Dear Parents,
Do we have great kids at L.H.S. or what! Let me explain. On Tuesday, January 13th, we had our annual Martin Luther King / Multicultural Assembly. We were fortunate to have, as a guest speaker, Coach Herman Boone, whose story was featured in the movie “Remember the Titans”. In addition to Coach Boone, we had performances, as
well as stories written by students who had encountered and overcome prejudice in their lives. It was long, by assembly standards, and lasted well over an hour. It also had quite a bit of time when students were required to respectfully sit and listen. Every adult, including our guest, came away awe struck by two things; one was the talent exhibited by Tahitian, Irish and Break dancing styles as well as singing. The other was the tremendous amount of respect and positive behavior by our entire student body. I am so proud to be able to invite everyone into our school and see them leave with such high opinions of our kids. Thank you for sending us such a great group of individuals.
Sincerely,
Dave Golden, Principal
