Summer Reading

In the wake of the recent killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, and the outcry of national protests, we wanted to use the summer reading assignment as an opportunity to ask our students and faculty to explore new points of view. Senseless incidents like these happen too often and are just one part of the long history of systemic racism that exists in this country. We know that while schools strive to be a safe space for all, the lives of many students, faculty, and staff are impacted daily by racism.

Landmark High School librarian, Amy Veling, worked with Landmark’s Diversity and Inclusion Advocates to curate a summer reading list (link is external) focused on books that present a diverse array of perspectives. All students are encouraged to choose a book that will add to their understanding of the world around them. We encourage parents to take part.

A Note from Mr. Barrett

At Landmark High School, we take pride in the fact that while we offer a specialized, college-preparatory program designed to meet individual student learning needs, we also offer the opportunity for students with language-based learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, to share in a complete high school experience from challenging academics and a personalized daily tutorial to afterschool activities, competitive athletics, student government, and more.

Information and updates regarding sports, clubs, activities, trips, performing arts, community service opportunities, and special arts exhibits and events are just a sample of what you will find throughout this site. Landmark High School is a vibrant community that seeks to tap into the strengths and talents of all of our students as we work together to share a meaningful high school experience. We hope that this website becomes a valuable resource for you and that the information contained within is helpful, informative, and representative of the community that we are all so very proud to be a part of.
