Help Serve Pizza at LAHS This Year!

Our students love pizza!
The LAHS Pizza Cart is one of the many ways our parent community supports students, and we’re looking for volunteers to help serve pizza during lunch this school year.

Whether you’re a returning volunteer or considering it for the first time, we’d love to have you join us. Shifts are short, and even volunteering occasionally makes a meaningful difference. It’s a great opportunity to be on campus, support students, and connect with other LAHS families.

If you have a little time to give, please consider signing up for one or more shifts throughout the year by completing the volunteer interest form:

Thank you for helping make this possible. We appreciate the time and energy our parent volunteers invest in supporting the LAHS community!

Student Schedules

Schedules are available in AERIES over the weekend. If your student would like a printed schedule, they can come to the office before school starts on Monday, however a printed copy isn’t necessary.

Reminder of Schedule Change Process
Students must fill out the schedule change request form using their MVLA account. Parents/guardians are not able to directly access the form, however you may support your student through this process (form is linked).

2026 Congressional App Challenge

Registration for the 2026 Congressional App Challenge is now open! Since 2016, over 50,000 middle and high schoolers across the United States have created apps representing their passions, values, and service to our community. Sam Liccardo welcomes LAHS students to participate once again this year.  

The program welcomes students of all coding skill levels, including beginners and provides resources to help students learn. Participants may register individually or in teams of up to four and use any programming language (e.g., C, C++, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or block code) and any platform (e.g., PC, web, tablet, robot, or mobile device).  

For this year’s challenge, students create an app that helps residents access vital federal, state, or local benefits and services.  Students may learn more about federal agencies and the App Challenge to inform submissions.  Apps are due on October 26, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. If students have any questions, don’t hesitate to email CAC.Liccardo@mail.house.gov or call 408-245-2339.
