In a letter to parents, Principal Jason Allemann said, 'In our small community, these incidents can have far-reaching impact on our campus culture.

LBHS will host panel discussions this week to discuss online privacy, legal and ethical considerations of sharing contact, the impact of online behavior on future opportunities and relationships and managing digital footprints.
