LPS celebrates summer reading!
Longview Public Schools Superintendent Dan Zorn and School Board member Phil Jurmu set the pace at Longview’s Go Fourth parade.
While serving as grand marshal of the 2018 Go Fourth parade, Superintendent Dan Zorn and his crew of LPS staff, board members, family and friends passed out thousands of bookmarks encouraging everyone to read this summer.
The bookmarks include a link to “Superintendent Storytime,” where Dr. Zorn shares several of his favorite children’s books.

LPS graduates take diverse paths: Becky Grubbs, MMHS
Young people sample lots of activities in high school, and by the time they graduate each has a unique set of experiences to call their own. We asked three members of Longview’s class of 2018 to share something about their high school careers, a piece of advice and their post-graduation plans.

Mark Morris High School: Hardwired to help
Becky Grubbs seems hardwired for volunteering.
“I’ve been doing non-profit work since I was 18 months old,” said
the senior, describing those early times with her grandparents
at FISH of Cowlitz County, which distributes food and other services.
This year and last, Becky received Volunteer of the Year honors from the Cowlitz-Wahkiakum United Way.
Becky began volunteering at the United Way as a sophomore and soon was helping plan events, like the Day of Caring campaign. This year she worked with LPS to implement a literacy program that put 100 Mark Morris and R.A. Long students in third grade classrooms where they encouraged the younger students to read for fun.
“Becky took it on as her pet project … and set up student teams at the high schools,” said Brooke Fisher-Clark, United Way executive director. “It was really magical to see that partnership.”
Becky said volunteer work has taught her that there is always […]
LPS grads take diverse paths: Hamzah Amjad, R.A. Long

R.A. Long High School: Intent on STEM
R.A. Long grad Hamzah Amjad
From Hamzah Amjad’s perspective, having technology isn’t enough.
“It can be used to solve most of the world’s problems,” he said. “We just haven’t yet figured out how to help people who need it.”
Hamzah is preparing to do just that. In April, he was among 49 Washington high school seniors—one from each legislative district—who signed letters of intent to pursue careers in STEM—science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In September, he will begin engineering studies at the University of Washington.
“I like things that manifest into real-life scenarios,” he said, describing how his calculus and AP statistics classes helped him see real-world applications for theoretical material.
Hamzah points to medicines that are designed to cure cancer but perhaps aren’t used in the most efficient way. And he mused about artificial intelligence in cars—couldn’t it be used to prevent vehicle accidents?
His teachers anticipate he will make a difference.
“Hamzah is a phenomenal person who is always ‘on his game,’ and […]
