Lathrop High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lathrop High School is a public high school in Fairbanks in the U.S. state of Alaska, part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. It is named for early Alaska businessman Austin E. "Cap" Lathrop. 2005-2006 principal Mario Gatto recently left for Ben Eielson Junior/Senior High School. The current interim principal is Karen Gaborik. The school mascot is the malemute, and the school colors are purple and gold.
Lathrop High School is considered the original "Fairbanks High School" which was discontinued in the 1970's when West Valley High was opened. Lathrop still awards an "F" to its letterman (as opposed to an "L" for Lathrop) to represent its roots as the original "Fairbanks High School"
