Class of 2026 Slideshow
First day of school, any and all school activities needed! From the freshman and sophomore school years.
It may seem like a long way off, but our students’ graduation will come sooner than you can imagine. One of the most memorable moments of Senior Week (the week leading up to graduation) is the class video that is viewed at the Senior Breakfast attended by seniors and their families.
We need your help! Share photos of your child's happy LHS memories as they happen - upload them here right from your phone or computer. The more candid the better!
We can’t be everywhere. However, YOU are always at the memorable moments of your child’s life and probably with a camera in hand! Please share those great shots with us. Our goal is to have every student and activity represented in our Senior Class Video!
Include only pictures of the Class of 2026 and only Langley High School events, i.e. sports, concerts, dances, theater, treat days, Saxon Time, and field trips (once these things can actually occur).

What is ANGP?
ANGP stands for All Night Grad Party. For 30 years, Langley Seniors have enjoyed a safe, fun all-night party after their graduation at Constitution Hall. The ANGP is sponsored by the LHS PTSA and hosted by an ANGP chair and committee of Senior parents. Every LHS class provides volunteers to make the event a success. Freshmen parents setup, Sophomore parents decorate, Junior parents clean-up, and over 100 Senior parents organize and chaperone/work the event.
Seniors/graduates attend from 11:00 PM on the night of graduation until 4:00 AM the following morning. The goal is to reduce the risk of teen drinking and drug use on graduation night, saving the lives of our teens and others in the community. ANGP provides our graduates a fun, safe, alcohol- and drug-free evening to celebrate one last time with all of their classmates. Historically, more than 90 percent of the graduating seniors attend.
