Meet Mr. Devaney, tennis coach and small group helper throughout the LHS community! To further learn more about him, here some questions that were asked:

Q: What do you do/teach here?

A: Well, I mainly do small group testing along with being a special education paraeducator.

Q: If you could meet someone from the past, who would it be and why?

A: Teleportation for sure, it just wouldn’t take long to get places.
