School Colors[edit]

So, what's the deal with the school colors? There seems to be a fight over edits concerning Maroon vs. Cardinal. LHS's site currently says Cardinal, and I've been told by other alums that the principal made the change. Courtarro 13:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The official school colors are Cardinal and Gold. This was implemented this fall and all school attire (jersey's, graduation gowns etc) are changing colors. Allsomeheadybrah 00:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The principal did indeed the make this change. The school colors have been maroon and gold since atleast the 80s. This is strictly through discussion with alumni I know through the band program, so there is no real way to document it.

Here's further proof that the school colors have ALWAYS been officially Maroon and Gold. Shall we look at the Alma Mater...with words and music: "Dear Lassiter your praise we sing And honor to your name we bring. Our steps are led in days of youth Within your walls to seek for truth. Here learn to serve, to love, to live And to the world our best to give. You are building for the future years With hope and confidence ‘mid smiles and tears. Led on by honor’s radiant star Your glory still shall shine afar. We will cherish you when hearts grow old And revere your maroon and gold. " Offical School Alma Mater I really doubt the alma mater has been wrong this entire time. The new principal may have "changed them", but I think this shows that the true school colors are in fact maroon and gold. (Rockabillykid 11:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

To add a bit of history to the colors discrepancy, from a member of the first graduating class: Prior to the school opening in fall of 1981, incoming students were given the opportunity to vote on potential school colors and mascot. One of the assistant football coaches (if memory serves, his name was Coach Oliver) was a fan of the USC Trojans, and was enthusiastically promoting the choice of their mascot and colors. When the winner was announced, it was listed as maroon and gold. The cheerleading squads (and I assume band, and other sports teams) were given catalogs to order uniforms. There did not appear to be any centralized effort to coordinate. When the first football game rolled around, the football jerseys were scarlet and gold, like USC. The band and cheerleading uniforms were maroon and gold. It appears that it took many years to officially resolve the discrepancy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:368B:F770:9CA5:C713:457A:9783 (talk) 22:45, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Alma mater subsequently was revised to say "revere your cardinal and gold". Maroon is long gone. It is nowhere on the school campus anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.114.80 (talk) 01:24, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased Students[edit]

When I attended Lassiter, there was a "courtyard" outside the cafeteria with four benches in memory of the four students who had died while I was in attendance there. I am sure there are many who attended Lassiter who are now deceased, but I am in search of one individual, who rode my bus, and very "unpopular". I really need to find his name.

We rode the bus that went through Forest Chase and Windsor Oaks subdivision from 1985 - 1987. This individual was a male who lived in Windsor Oaks, was very much a loner, had a lot of issues (took meds) and was found outside on his property in the woods apparently overdosed on his meds. It was not apparent whether he commited suicide or it was an accident. Can anyone please help me find out what his name was? It has been 22 or so years and I can't get this kid out of my head. I've been having dreams about him - and would like to put some closure to this. Thanx!! jefffair@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.15.120.166 (talk) 22:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:V[edit]

Today I removed a whole lot of stuff that was not within the guidelines for school articles found at WP:SCH/AG. In addition, I noticed that all the athletic achievements are referenced to the school's website. This is not an acceptable reference for the school's achievements. There is no big hurry on this, as it has been there for a while, but if anyone know's where to find the state high school sanctioning organization's record book, that would be a much better reference. Also, the claim for a national championship is at best dubious. AFAIK, there is no recognized national championship in any sport. That needs to be referenced or gone. John from Idegon (talk) 22:31, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References for state athletic championships from GHSA records have been added. Could not find references for rugby or hockey, as they are not governed by GHSA. Also could not find reference to 2004 boys' lacrosse championship. From my understanding, GHSA records say that lacrosse was not a state championship sport until the 2004-2005 season, when Lassiter competed in, but did not win, the state championship.
