Giving Back with Pride! On Thursday, May 8, 2025, starting at 1:30 PM and finishing around 9:00 PM, a dedicated group of Lake Placid High School students rolled up their sleeves to give back in a big way. Led by Class of 2025 student Mason Register, co-owner of Prestige Power Plus, these hardworking students laid down 30 yards of mulch across the campus grounds, putting in approximately 30 man-hours of work to beautify and improve their school. We're proud of our students for their leadership, teamwork, and commitment to making a positive impact. A huge shoutout to Mason and his classmates for showing what Dragon Pride is all about! 🐲💚 #LakePlacidHigh #ClassOf2025 #StudentLeadership #CommunityService #PrestigePowerPlus #DragonPride
