Description: Lake Havasu High School teacher Marie Hendry is unique among Lake Havasu Unified School District teachers in that her classroom holds children ranging from seniors in high school down to 3 years old. You might ask, how could this be? Mrs. Hendry is chairperson of Lake Havasu High’s Family and Consumer Science Department, and, along with paraprofessional Julie Herandez, she oversees the Little Knights Preschool program. Little Knights is a state licensed preschool that operates on the Lake Havasu High School Campus. It is named "Little Knights" after the High School's athletic mascot, the knight, and it has been part of the LHHS campus environment for many years. Pat Rooney, retired High School principal and current Governing Board member says it was started in 1989 by teacher Lori Hunn. Mrs. Hendry has only been at LHHS for three years, but she says Little Knights has been around long enough that she actually sees previous preschool students now coming back as high school students who work in the preschool "lab" as part of their coursework. That is what the preschool is, a laboratory experience for high school students taking Family and Consumer Science Department classes in early childhood.
