Lewistown High School is currently experiencing a partial power outage that has affected our gym, locker rooms, and public bathrooms. The outage has not affected our ability to hold classes, serve meals, or safely serve our students. Due to the availability of the type of equipment needed to remedy the issue, some home events and practices may need to be rescheduled or relocated until we can get this problem fixed. Please continue to monitor the district communications and social media for updates on any changes to our schedules.
