Pioneer of the Year & Talent for Change

Two of our favorite L-S spring events are joining forces this year for one night of fun. The Pioneer of the Year competition (formerly Mr. Pioneer) and the K-12 Talent for Change talent show will be held together on Saturday, April 7, at 7pm in the PAC. The event is organized by the L-S HS PTO and the L-S Model UN. Proceeds benefit the L-S Post Prom & Spring Blast and Doctors Without Borders.

Eight members of the Class of 2019 will compete for the title of Pioneer of the Year

• Ben Beiler - Varsity Club and FCS
• Camden D’Imperio - Ski & Snowboard Club
• Eryn Donnelly - Model UN
• Abbey Drummond - Cultures Club

Acts from all four schools will perform in the L-S Model UN Talent for Change show

The Pioneer of the Year competition consists of three rounds: formalwear, beachwear, and interviews. A panel of L-S celebrity judges will evaluate the contestants based on pre-determined criteria. A combination of judges' scores and People's Votes ($1 votes purchased at school and during intermission) will be used to determine the 2018 Pioneer of the Year. The winner will receive a front row parking spot for his or her senior year, two 2019 prom and post-prom tickets, a 2018-2019 spirit pass for admission to district events, and a breakfast in homeroom. A portion of the People's Vote proceeds will be given to the winner's sponsoring club or organization.
