About the Lewis Legacy Project

The Lewis Legacy Project is a whole school event in which each grade level reads a work or works by Congressman John Lewis.  The purpose of this project is to learn about our school's namesake, engage in community building, connect to causes that are personally meaningful and begin to take action on those causes.  

This project is something all Lewis High School students will experience in their English classes and is a core part of the Lewis Leadership Program.
