Fondest Memory of Your Time at Lansingburgh High School
Making the Top 10 in the Class of 2024. At the end of my junior year I was top 15. I kept my grades high hoping to reach the top 10 in senior year but I wasn’t really getting my hopes up. However, I secured 10th place and I couldn’t be happier.
Lansingburgh CSD Teacher/Staff Thank Yous and Shout Outs
I’d always like to thank Mr. Verra. In the two years I had him before he left, he always knew my full potential and believed in me academically. I’d also like to shoutout Mr. Loudis, Mrs. Baldassari, and Mr. Guyer for being great teachers.
Plans for Next Year
I originally planned on going into culinary arts as I enjoy baking, however I’ve recently thought about going into a dental assisting program at Hudson Valley Community College.
Felix Espada
Fondest Memory of Your Time at Lansingburgh High School
My fondest memories all lie within my extra circulars. Whether it was the sense of family I found in drama club, the laughter we brought to mock trial, the nostalgia dance club brought back, the really bad karaoke sessions on the way back from a volleyball game, or dancing around bugging Coach Foard on the track. My after school activities and the people they brought me will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Lansingburgh CSD Teacher/Staff Thank Yous and Shout Outs
I would like to give a huge shoutout to Ms. Baldassari and Mr. Shuttleworth. They both have helped me so much in ways they don’t even know. I truly owe them so much for listening to me rant every day and giving me a space to feel safe and welcomed.

I will be attending SUNY Genesee Community College for Criminal Justice and to play volleyball.

My fondest memory at LHS had to be the big celebration the seniors had after the powderpuff game when we beat the juniors!
Lansingburgh CSD Teacher/Staff Thank Yous and Shout Outs
I would like to shout out Mrs. Baldassari. She has become like a school mom to me and anytime I was having a bad day and needed advice or just wanted to see her, I knew I could go to her and she would help me. I don't think I would’ve made it through the last two years without her. I’m so thankful to have had her as my teacher.
