Lions Tour New Lorain High School Building

/The Lorain Lions toured the new LHS facility, now 85% complete, on Thursday, April 7, guided by Director of Facilities, Jeff Hawks.  It was jaw-dropping huge, equivalent to two and a half Admiral King buildings with a capacity to serve 2700 students.  It will undoubtably become a source of great pride for the City of Lorain and a major resource for the region, with its state-of-the-art sports complex, performing arts center, and vocational and technology facilities.  It will be ready for the new school year on August 24.
