Director Mrs. Susan Lord
Mrs. Lord is in her 32nd year at LHHS, the last 16 of which have been at the helm of the theatre department. She has also taught English and P.E. and coached water polo and swimming; in fact, she is the “winningest” coach on campus with 8 League Championships and 4 CIF titles. Mrs. Lord holds a Master’s degree in Theater Production and Design from Southern Oregon University. She loves working with the students at LHHS and values the incredible support from the parents, colleagues, and administration. She was honored as one of the Orange County Teacher of the Year candidates in 2013, has happily accepted MACY awards for most of our musicals -- including the prestigious Spirit of the MACY trophy for Nice Work if You Can Get It in 2017, and has been nominated for Director of the Year at the JRAY Awards twice in the past several years. But what she’s most proud of and thankful for is her amazing family!
