Lanphier High School

Hey batter, batter.... that's the last swing for these Lions in the ballpark! We celebrated Senior night and the Class of 2025. Congratulations to Dominick, Jhermie, Bryan & Carter!

🎉 Field Trip Fun! 🎒 Thanks to a generous grant from the Springfield Public Schools Foundation that Mrs. Landon wrote, her class along with Mrs. Hawkins, and the Lanphier Life Skills students took an exciting trip to the Illinois State Museum right here in Springfield! Students explored the rich history of Illinois, discovered fascinating fossils, learned about native wildlife, and participated in hands-on exhibits that brought science and social studies to life! From mastodons to prairie life, the museum offered an unforgettable learning experience. 🦴🌾🖐️ We’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world exploration! #LanphierPride #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #SpringfieldPublicSchoolsFoundation #IllinoisStateMuseum #FieldTripDay

¡Qué día tan divertido! Spanish 3 & 4 students and Spanish Club members spent the day immersed in culture and language! They kicked things off at Soulard Market, practicing their bartering skills in an open-air setting,Then headed to La Vallesana where they ordered authentic Mexican food en español, Students wrapped up their trip with a South American-themed scavenger hunt at the St. Louis Zoo! This was a fun, hands-on way to explore language and culture right in their own backyard!

🐾🦅 The Lanphier Life Skills crew had a wildly fun day at Scovill Zoo! Ms. Hawkins and Ms. Landon’s classes enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with animal adventures, from feeding guinea pigs to spotting a ringtail lemur with baby twins! 🚂🎠 Our students loved the train and carousel rides, and it was extra special to see the bald eagles they’ve been learning about in science class. Huge thanks to the zoo staff for being so welcoming and helpful — it was a fantastic experience all around! 🌟# Northside #LanphierPride #LifeSkillsInAction #ZooDayFun #HandsOnLearning
