Over the years, LHS students and teachers have been creating lists of key vacation spots, memorable moments, and ‘hope to accomplish’ goals. These items, compiled in a list format, have been dubbed ‘bucket lists’ and are a framework for what people wish to do in life to feel accomplished. Each bucket list presented here highlights the many adventures of LHS students and staff.
A notable bucket list belongs to Craig Schmidt. Philosophy and Film teacher, Mr. Scmidt is a contender for what is perhaps the most adventurous bucket list. Schmidt, who became a teacher in 1997, has gone white water rafting through a Costa Rican rainforest, and skydived. Also, since 2007, he has even been writing his own novel! Schmidt has shown that good friends and family are important as well; other items on his list include being a great husband, father and building friendships wherever the world takes him. Overall, his diverse, unique, and interesting list is without a doubt worth recognizing.

A well-known face around LHS, Dr. Koulentes has had many adventures throughout his life. Some of which include: living in a foreign country, visiting all seven continents, becoming a teacher, and seeing the marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies in The Galapagos Islands. Friendship and family are also important values to Dr. Koulentes. He is constantly working hard to make LHS a better place while maintaining a strong connection with his family and accomplishing his goals in life.

Senior Katherine Fosmoen already has an amazing start on an adventure-included bucket list. Fosmoen has ziplined over an ocean, performed at Carnegie Hall, climbed a volcano, and learned to ski. While she has certainly made an impressive start, she still has much to learn, many places to go, and more adventures to experience.
