President’s Letter Dear Leon Family, It is hard to believe that we are about to wrap up another year at this great school. The Class of 2016 was a standout. This year has been a very challenging one, and I must credit the faculty, staff, student body and you for getting us through. For the parents of the Class of 2016, it is probably hard to imagine that your little boy or girl has grown so quickly and is about to graduate from high school. In addition, it is even harder to believe that we are now embarking on the 109th graduating class at Leon High School. During the next several weeks, I’m sure you will be experiencing a number of different emotions, but one specific emotion that I feel confident we both share is “PRIDE”! I can’t express to you enough how much respect I have for your children. I certainly admire them for all they accomplished in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the arts. The thing I respect most about these kids, however, is all that they’ve given back to others. The Class of 2016 is an outstanding group and you, as parents, should be extremely proud of them and the job you did raising them. I look forward to sharing this milestone with all of you at Leon High School’s 2016 graduation ceremony Saturday, May 28th, at 3:00 p.m. in the Leon County Civic Center. In addition to graduation preparations, we have wrapped up FSA testing and are currently completing End Of Course and Advanced Placement exams. So far, testing has gone well and we are looking forward to seeing if all of their hard work paid off. Please be sure to give your son or daughter and their teachers a big pat on the back. Our spring sports season has also concluded with Gabe Beyer winning an individual state championship in wrestling and our Boys Tennis Team winning a State Runner-Up Championship for the second year in a row. In closing, let me say thank you for all that you have done to support your child and Leon High School. It has been an honor and a privilege for me to serve as their principal. For the Class of 2016, I hope that their years at Leon have been both challenging and rewarding and will provide for them as many wonderful memories as it did for me. For the rest of the student body, I look forward to seeing them this fall for another successful year. Have a great summer! Sincerely,
May 2016
Billy Epting, Principal Go Big Red!
