Junior: Pinning & Ring Ceremony
The annual Ring & Pinning Ceremony for our Juniors will be held on March 25, 2022, at 10:00 am. Students will receive their rings that were purchased from Herff Jones. If you have purchased a ring from another company, please bring your ring to Ms. Crystal Franklin on the morning of the ceremony.
We are asking that Junior students have a representative to pin them on the day of the ceremony. Every Junior will be recognized. When your child’s name is called, the parent (guardian/representative) will pin the school’s pin onto the lapel of the student. This moment begins the Junior’s transition into their Senior year. Photos will be taken by Miles Photography.
LEAP Review
Back by popular demand! Southern University Laboratory School is committed to the academic success of all of our students. We want all of our students to reach their full potential: therefore, we will offer LEAP 2025 review again this year for 6th grade through 12th grade. LEAP Review and writing for Elementary has been embedded in their daily instruction. Review includes, but is not limited to test preparation and strategies in all subject matter, including writing. It will take place immediately after school until 4:45 Monday through Thursday beginning March 21, 2021 through April 7, 202, April 11, 12, 13 and April 25 through April 28. We are asking that all students be picked up promptly from the school by an authorized person by 4:50 p.m. after school. Any child, not picked up by those times will be placed in our after-care program that charges a fee.
Additionally we are excited to announce that we will be hosting Super Saturdays for LEAP review and AP exam review. Saturday sessions will be from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM on April 2 and April 30. Snacks will be provided and door prizes will be given.

Moot Court Competition
The Marshall-Brennan National High School Moot Court Competition was held virtually on March 11 - 13, 2022. Scholars participated from nine chapters: American University, Arizona State University, Colorado University Boulder, Rutgers University, Southern University Law Center, Suffolk University Law School, University of Pittsburgh, University of New Mexico, and Yale University Law School.
Southern University Law Center was represented by three students, one of which was Noelle Cloyd of the SU Lab School. Noelle had an outstanding performance. She advanced to the semi-final round. Although Noelle did not win the competition, her arguments were extremely professional and impressive. Her presentations demonstrated the intellectual acumen and commitment that exhibit the core values of SUS and the Lab School.
