Lockport Township High School has there first day

As students woke up from their bed, they woke up to see that summer is finally over. Lockport's High School students lined up for their first day of school. Some students were excited, while others were quite disappointed to know that there might be a little bit less swimming and running going on.

School started at 7:44 AM as students got to learn their classes and teachers. And of course, Lockport still has the same overcrowding problem that it has had for some time. With the famous "K hallway" backed up wall to wall. And Freshman's got to learn how this problem is effecting the community.

As the short day went on, students got to learn there classes got out around the time of 10:44 AM. Lockport is bound to have a great year for it being known to have high test scores and a great facility. Dispite the overcrowding, "LTHS" can be considered one of the nations best schools.
