The 2021-2022 school year was LOA’s best year yet!  This year, LOA teams won 7 region championships, were state runners up in 2 events, and won 4 state championships. In addition, 8 student-athletes signed to play sports in college and 7 young men and women won region and state players of the year!  Titans filled the rosters of the All Region and All State teams and several coaches were named Coach of the Year in their respective sports.  It was a year filled with tremendous growth in all areas.

LOA could not do this without  financial support, countless volunteer hours, transportation services, and Titan voices in the crowd! Thank you to all who have made it all possible. The student-athletes and coaches are fueled to work harder each year by the support of our LOA family.  On behalf of our administration, faculty, students, and coaches, I want to personally thank you for this.  I look forward to an incredible summer of hard work and an even better year next year!
