Total Eclipse of Our Heart

LHMS Panther Family:

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Total Solar Eclipse with my family and it is a memory that I will cherish. So very glad that the weather held out and we were able to enjoy this memorable event. The next complete Solar Eclipse in the USA will be in 2045.

Don't forget to tag your eclipse photo of your student wearing their Firefly Aerospace, LHISD Community partner, viewing glasses at:

#FireflyAerospace #libertyhillms

At LHMS, we strive to be the exception, be a champion, and be all in!

LHMS Principal
