Hear From Our Panthers

The principal of lighthouse smiles in front of the building

We’re a small but mighty community at Lighthouse. We know the students well, we know the families well, and we know each other well. There’s a sense of belonging here. Everyone is always there for each other.

I greatly value that my child has time to work on individual goals, yet also has time to work with peers on new things.
