From the Field At LCC, athletics and co-curriculars allow students to develop their passions and discover new interests. More than that, they are the glue that binds our diverse student body into a tight-knit community, providing opportunities to make close connections across grades. “The co-curricular programming at the school is a real training ground for students to develop self-awareness, cooperation, selfconfidence and teamwork,” says Michele Owen, director of student life. “Close friendships are forged and students feel a great sense of accomplishment.”

HERE ARE A FEW STUDENT TESTIMONIALS.
I really like the debating practice because we are a group sharing ideas together and it is an opportunity to practice public speaking and build confidence. — Jaber Al-Atassi ’29
The robotics team is like a big family. Everyone is brought together by our shared interests to build a robot from a hunk of metal. Despite the failed attempts at combining motors, bolts and wiring, we still manage to find a way to make it work. We laugh and have fun the whole time. The spirit of robotics is not the finished product, it’s the challenges we overcome on the way to success. — Andrew Luo ’24
