Dear LJHS Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! My name is John Pinto and I am the Principal of Lakeside Junior High School.  I was formerly Assistant Principal at Lakeside High School and am thrilled to be leading LJHS.  My door is always open and I look forward to working with families, students, and staff.  

I am looking forward to another exciting year with Ashtabula Area City Schools. I will do my best to help your child achieve to the best of his/her ability. I hope that all of our students at Lakeside Junior High School have an amazing school year! 
Dear Junior High Families,
 
Welcome to a new school year! I am excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and success together. As your Assistant Principal, I look forward to partnering with our students, families, and staff to create a safe, supportive, and engaging school community.
 
This year will be filled with new opportunities to learn, build friendships, and achieve great things. Our dedicated teachers and staff are ready to help every student reach their full potential, and we encourage everyone to come each day ready to learn, show kindness, and do their best.
 
Thank you for being an important part of our school family. Together, we will make this a year full of meaningful learning, positive experiences, and lasting memories.
Sincerely,
 
 
Mrs. Giegerich
