Theatre
Ryan Morgan, Jake Rhodes, Adrielle Watson

Ryan is a member of the improv team here at LHS, involved in all play productions this year in substantial roles, and a great scene writer. The crazy characters he creates in improvs are hysterical. His positive attitude and creativity has enlivened many a rehearsal. His rendition of the lead role of Grandpa in You Can’t Take It With You was memorable.   

Jake Rhodes is also a positive force in the theatre arts department. Multi-talented with different characters and voices, or offstage running rail or building set pieces, he is indispensable. He blends the art of acting, directing and stage technology to make the performing and visual aspects reach a higher standard.  A transfer student from Arcadia High School, he quickly become an asset and has been embraced by our theatre arts family.

Adrielle Watson, as a sophomore, has become a Stage Manager Extraordinaire. She knows the artistic aesthetic value of timing for a full length drama production, as well as other auditorium productions. This is due to her knowledge of the role of the actor/director and the understanding of the many backstage disciplines (set, props, lights, sound, stage crew.) Her dedication, high expectations for production values make her an incredible asset to the department.

Christopher Lopez is an outstanding Graphic Design student.  Chris is a third year student who is an over achiever on every assignment he completes.  His design and computer skills are far above the other students in the class and he continually strives to increase his abilities.  Chris is a very polite and professional young man who will be successful in whatever pathway in life he chooses.  Chris won the poster contest last year that Mr. Jimenez put on for the "Race To The Top."  Chris is a good example of what a student should be both academically and socially.
