To the editor: Hello. My name is Avery Meyer and I am a student at Lindbergh High School. In my anatomy class I have been studying the effects of energy drinks on people’s overall health. After my research, I have concluded that while there are some positive effects that energy drinks can have, the majority of the.
Lindbergh High School celebrated its very first class of 24 graduating seniors to complete a four-year Biomedical Science Program on May 17. They were honored at the school’s first-ever Whitecoat Ceremony for graduation from this prestigious Project Lead the Way program.
The PLTW Biomedical Science Program, which was established in 2017, allows high school students to take on real-world challenges such as discovering new cancer treatments or teaching healthy lifestyle choices to communities. Students use the same tools available in hospitals and labs to engage in exciting hands-on activities as they work together to find solutions to problems. They use software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement and respiration, and explore how to evaluate the code in human DNA, among other real-world learning experiences. During the final year, students have the opportunity to work on an independent project with a mentor or adviser from a university, medical facility or research in
Experiment from 2 Lindbergh students getting launched into space

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. Two Lindbergh students will soon see their years of hard work launched into space as a part of a global program.
Biraj Pokhrel and Dylan Rice are Lindbergh High School students. They started their project as eighth-graders back in 2019. During their Design Time class at Sperreng Middle School, they came up with an experiment to determine the impact of the space travel environment including temperature, G-force and solar radiation on commercial 3D printer plastic.
Superintendent Tony Lake has spent three years at the helm of Lindbergh Schools and is set to lead the district for at least another three after the Board of Education extended his contract through 2024.
After getting voter approval for a $105 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue to build a new Lindbergh High School, Lake said he is now looking ahead to what the district needs in the future financially and facilities-wise and how to fund both of those missions.
The board voted unanimously Jan. 12 to extend Lake’s contract by another year, so he is on contract with Lindbergh through June 30, 2024.
For the 2021-2022 school year, Lake will be paid $227,136 in base salary, plus mileage and district-funded health insurance. That’s up from $200,000 when he started three years ago. Lake’s raise each of the next two years could range from 2-10 percent, but he doesn’t get a raise if teachers don’t. The district is also paying into two pension funds for Lake.
After two years of hard work, determination and a slight delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lindbergh High School students Biraj Pokhrel and Dylan Rice will send their science experiment to space as part of the global Cubes in Space program. The local students’ project is one of only 80 worldwide to be included on the 2021 Cubes in Space SR-7 mission. Dylan and Biraj began their work in 2019 as eighth-graders during their Design Time class at Sperreng Middle School.
