LHWHS Open House September 1

Ladue High School welcomes all parents and guardians to an Open House on Thursday, September 1 from 7 to 8:45 p.m. This will be an opportunity to meet your student's teachers and hear about their plans for the semester.

Access Infinite Campus to print your student's schedule before the event or pick up a hard copy in the Dr. Donna Jahnke Student Plaza Entrance lobby beginning at 6:30 p.m.

A Freshman Class meeting (for parents and guardians of the class of 2026) will precede the Open House, starting at 6 p.m. in the Ladue Performing Arts Center. 

Picture Day Wednesday, August 31, 2022

LHWHS Picture Day will be next Wednesday, August 31. Wagner Portrait Group will be photographing students and staff for portrait packages, school records, student IDs and the yearbook.

ONLY ONLINE ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

(Please do not bring checks, cash, or order forms to school as they will no longer be accepted.)

Update Your Information in the Rambell

If your family was listed in the online directory for either the high school or middle school parent associations last year, that same information will be visible in the online directory at the LHWHSPA website this year.

Please sign into your account or create one today at LadueHighPA.com. Once you are logged in, you can update your family's information and choose what information to share in the LHWHSPA directory. 

Please make any needed updates to your contact information and sharing preferences by September 23. (A PDF buzz book will be published in October.) 

Questions? Contact Buzz Book chair Henry Li at henryli06@yahoo.com.

A donation of $40 per family is suggested, but whatever you can give is appreciated.
