2025/2026 Team

Last year's Lone Star Challenge Team won First Place in Division One of the Lone Star Challenge! These dedicated students prepared for this year's theme of "Africa", reading the novel A Long Walk to Water, and learning all about the continent of Africa. We are so proud of their dedication and for representing Lakewood so well. Congratulations!
