The Renaissance council works to recognize and reward students and staff for their accomplishments and contributions. The Renaissance Council is divided into four sub-committees: Student Recognition whose main goal is to find ways to recognize LCI students for improvements in their marks, attendance and overall respect. Each month students are nominated and rewarded through various incentives. Staff Recognition works to recognize the awesome staff of LCI. Each month students nominate for the Staff Member of the Month, with the winner receiving a plaque and a special parking spot. Promotions who works to make Renaissance known in the school and help with any projects the other committees come up with. Fundraising who raises money through such events as the LCI Clothesline in order to buy rewards and prizes for those being recognized each month. W > UtiUllAbove: Nice hat! Ms. Jorgensen shows off her "Renaissance Hat". Renaissance in LCI By Principal Carol Steen The Lethbridge Collegiate Institute became a "Renaissance School", the first and only school south of Calgary, in the Spring of 2000. This commitment empowers students, educators, administrators, parents, businesses and community organizations to work together to encourage student achievement, celebrate success and increase community involvement in our school. Renaissance is a journey, not a destination. Renaissance is about shaping school culture and excellence for all. VVhat you respect, recognize, reinforce and reward is what gets accomplished in a positive and caring environment. 3 S t u d e n t Li f e - R e n a i s s a n c e J^ri^JidS Below: Tracy Taylor, Melissa Pohl, and Sarah Hansen. Friendship defies age and ignores distance. It weathers the hard times and shares the good. Together we have found this. Our friendship has provided acceptance and understanding, in a world that pushes people apart. But I will always remain with the memories of the times we have shared knowing how fortunate I am to be able to call you my friend. - Ms. Jorgenson AbovcAbuve: KyleOrmston, Adam Kromm-Noble, Karina Murray.

Students feel that their school is #1 when they sense a strong attachment - a feeling of belonging to something special. The school with the most "spirit" is not necessarily the one with the loudest pep rallies, or the most championship teams, or the most banners hanging in their gym. Rather it is students who feel like they belong, like it's "their" school too. It's a place where we feel connected and a place we feel we belong. LCI has a tradition of this kind of SPIRIT! It's a place where everyone, can feel connected and everyone can belong. "To our dear LCI - We will be true!"Tlis BEST school in town Holy Ship!

Student Life - field Trips Below: Mr. Walters helps chaperon a groupof Spanish students at a restaurant in Calgary. Fieldtrips are classrooms outside the classroom, an opportunity to see, smell, feel and touch what it is we talk about in class. They might be a twenty minute walk to Henderson Lake or a five hour bus trip to the Provincial Legislature buildings in Edmonton. What ever the trip encompasses both teachers and students would agree that it is a unique learning experience and a nice break from the routines of regular classroom activities.

Ap proximately 38 English, 36 Math, 36 Social, 61 Science, and 19 P.E. classes are taught at the AP, regular and lower levels, along with numerous option courses. Options at LCI include Foods, Fashion, Law, Cosmo, Autobody, Auto Mechanics, Band, Choir, Drama, and several others including 5 language classes. In the 2002-2003 school year a total of 143 classes were taught at the LCI. Each of the 1200 students have a timetable individual and unique to fit their needs, so many of the classes are taught at several different times.

On top of homework that students have, many of them have a life that that occurs completely separate from school life. We here at L.C.I. have some students who excel at community sports, as well as hold down part time jobs, while maintaining good grades. In acknowledgement of those students who have taken on responsibilities above and beyond the call of regular school work, we dedicate this page of After Hours to you. -Mr. Gillespie Below: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

Students and staff arrive at LCI bright and early every morning-some as early as 6:00am and they are choosing to get there by many means. Some ride their bike, some walk, some run, some drive their car or truck or motorcycle, but at SO.BO/liter, a $1.00 in sight and the price of insurance, the big cheese wagon is looking better all the time.

Attitude determines how well you do it”. - Lou Holtz S ports and Organizations High School certainly isn't all academics. More that 24 athletic teams, 15 Clubs and many other organizations are the choices that LCI students have when creating their busy schedules. The extremely dedicated staff of the LCI offers a very wide range of extra curricular opportunities to all students. This range of activities is in constant change as the needs of students change with each passing year. Participating in an organization, a club or an athletic team provides you with endless opportunities to create memories for a lifetime. “Opportunities arc usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” - Ann Landers Above: The LCI Football team once again travelled to Calgary to play in McMahon Field where they defeated Medicine Hat I ligh School.

The Rams finished with a 13- 3 record. They went undefeated in league play capturing the Golden Football for the first time in seven years. The Rams advanced to the provincial finals for the third year in a row. They lost a close game 25-21, in the most exciting game of the year. The Rams had several highlights this past year. The season was started off by travelling down to Cedar City, Utah and then to Las Vegas. This trip helped to band the team. They shut out Priest River, Idaho. This was the first time the Rams have beaten an American team. This year’s Rams were 2- 2 in the States and 11-1 in Canada. The Rams were led by some awesome grade 12’s who excelled in the classroom and on the field. Some key individuals will be leaving including the Legendary Cliff Walters, who is retiring this year. Cliff has won the most provincial titles and is one of the best football coaches in Canada. Cliff will be dearly missed along side with the graduating grade 12’s who have started since grade 10. Next year the Rams will once again be very strong and should compete for the provincial title once again.

In Student Council this year we worked hard to make our school a more positive learning environment-organizing events such as pep rallies, dances, spirit week, the iFlurtz survey (to help students to find that special someone), and a date raffle that exploited the physical attractiveness of students to raise money for the Children's Wish Foundation. We thank Mr. Brack and Mr. Low for advising us and coming t< our meetings. In closing we leav* you with an acronym that details wly we think the LCI is a beacon of hopi to the community.

Exchange Program Changing Our View of Other Cultures Exploring New and Exciting Countries Around the World The exchange program at LCI gives foreign students the opportunity to visit Canada and LCI students to explore new and exciting countries around the world. This year we have had students visit from Japan, Finland, Australia, Brazil, Germany and the province of Quebec. These students have brought a global perspectice to LCI. Their energy and enthusiasm is contagious on the LCI student body. We thank our exchange students for making LCI a better place. Their contributions to our school will encourage others to pursue the opportunites exchange programs offer for LCI students.

Exchange Program 47 National Honor Society Changing the way the community views our school The National Honor Society is an organization in the school that focuses upon building leadership characteristics, maintaining high academic marks, and supporting the community in which it is based. The NHS has been very involved throughout the school and the community this last year. Some of the activities undertaken included a post-secondary education night, Christmas bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and the traditional Breakfast with Santa. Over the past year, the NHS began to undertake a series of new initiatives that had not been tried before,and was able to continueactivities that area tradition toour school, such as the Cinnamon Knot sale on Fridays. The NHS has used this year as a chance to bring awareness to the students about issues such as applying for scholarships, and career/post-secondary education based activities. Also, the NHS has shown its community involvement by helping out at activities at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital and at the Food Banks. In school, the Society plays a key role, offering tutoring services, as well as offering a variety of other services to the students. This past year, there were almost 200 students involved in the NHS, which allowed us to undertake even more projects than last year, and helped us to give back more to the community.

Students were invited to the Alberta Dance Alliance Youth Festival in Edmonton as representatives from Southern Alberta. In June we travelled to Edmonton to participate and perform at this provincial event. Winter Dance Winter Dance |lSchool Yard Rocks Each fall the LCI Drama Room is home to "School Yard Rocks". This year seven bands showed off their talents to around 200 fans. Always one of the most popular events of the year, these future Juno winners played everything from pop to punk.

Intramurals provide an alternative to sitting in the cafeteria and trying to resist the urge to put your feet on the table. By participation, students earned pizza. Activites can't all be for individuals, as after all, the human being is a soical creature. To satisfy this need, Intramurals also staged many team events. We all got used to hearing who was playing who on any given day. These teams clashed in team belly baseball, football, soccer, and basketball, to name a few. Many of us watched and cheered, even more of us didn't, but regardless of the number of people in the stand the action was always intense. Lastly, the Intramural Program would hardly be what it is today had it not been for a very dedicated staff member, Mr. Walters. Thanks a lot! Intramurals 63 Round Table Discussions Want to share your opinion? Do you have an idea for school improvement? Well, join us at the LCI Roundtable Discussions, where your voice is heard and your ideas are taken seriously In April 2003, the students of the LCI were involved in Roundtable Discussions. In groups of 200, the students came to the gym, where they heard some of the news about the school. Then, they moved into small groups, facilitated bv students, and were able to discuss the great things about LCI and those things they would like to see improved. The student facilitators brought this information to the administration. Thanks to afl who have been a part of this journey of continuous improvement. Above: It took the entire gym floor to accomodate all the discussion groups. Right: Matt Bell facilitates this group of grade 10 students.
