Principal's Message
The staff of Las Lomas High School is dedicated to provide the very best education possible for the students of Las Lomas. With over 90 teachers, administrators, counselors, secretaries, and other support staff, the students of Las Lomas are provided with an excellent education from a caring supportive staff. The staff of Las Lomas ranges from teachers in their first year of teaching to teachers who have served the Las Lomas community for many years. Whether someone is new to teaching or an experienced teacher, they demonstrate an enthusiasm for all of our students. Outside of the classroom, many staff members coach sports, sponsor class activities, sponsor club activities, or just attend events to support students so much. As a staff, we enjoy our jobs, our students, the support from parents and the community, and the friendship and support of one another. We are indeed lucky to be a part of this wonderful school community!
