In a strange twist of events, as of Wednesday, Laramie High School no longer has a full-time Athletic Director. Former LHS AD Jeff Lewis was asked and has accepted a move to be the Albany County School District Director of Transportation. The move was made at the request of Superintendent Dr. Brian Recht. Lewis began his new position Wednesday, while current Laramie High School Principal Kim Sorensen takes over as the "acting" Athletic Director.
