LHS Principal Mr. James Brewer said while he was pleased to see his campus recognized for its high graduation rate, college readiness, and proficiency score, there is always room for improvement. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, so while it s nice to see (these rankings) it s not something that we re going to put much stock in, he said. Longview High School remains committed to providing the best possible education for all the young people in our care. Whether it s to prepare them for the job force or academia, there are always ways we can improve. Our community deserves nothing less.

The words â and symbols, like puzzle pieces and Scrabble boards â were scattered about the hallways during Petersonâs Celebration of Life, a gathering of students, teachers, family, friends and other community members Sunday afternoon at the school.
âIt was her biggest saying,â said Andy Weiss, a teacher at Raymond and a close friend of Petersonâs. âIt was how she thought and wanted her students to think in the classroom.â
