LCHS Dives Into “The Little Mermaid” April 07, 2021 | By Ann Mead Ash When Tracy Wagner, director of the Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) musical, looked into securing the rights for a spring show that the school would be able to stream, she did not know that her choice of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” would be met with intense student enthusiasm.

“This group was jumping out of their skin with excitement,” recalled Wagner, who added that the students know the characters and the melodies and wanted to work on learning the show as soon as the books arrived.

Fundraiser for LCHS Juniors Domenic Soto & Nahjeir Aikens On Tuesday, Domenic and Nahjeir were returning to LCHS after morning classes at Lancaster County Career & Technology Center, when they were rear-ended and injured in a rollover crash on Route 222.

We ask for your prayers for them and their families during this time.

If you are interested in helping the families with upcoming medical expenses, a GoFundMe has been created by one of their classmates.

Report Cards Coming This Week This year, we have seen an increase in students who are struggling academically and we have offered assistance and resources throughout the year to all students. This may necessitate course remediation during the summer months for non-seniors.

Unfortunately, for those seniors who are failing classes, there may not be enough time to gain the credits needed to graduate. Lancaster Catholic will continue to adhere to its established practice that no senior will participate in graduation activities if they do not meet the requirements for graduation. In addition, any senior in danger of failing a course for the year will not be given their cap and gown until they are out of danger of failing.
