Lanier High School will host a Viking Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 2 to 5 p.m. The event is open to the community and will include games, food, face painting, a bounce house and haunted house. 

The community festival will enable Lanier to strengthen its parent and community relations and showcase all that the school has to offer, including a full-service agricultural department that engages students in curriculum related to animal science, agriculture mechanics and horticulture. Festival attendees will be able to learn more about that program as well as other innovative programs at Lanier, including: cosmetology, Health Occupation Students of America, woodshop and more. Lanier students will also be on hand to answer questions about the programs and demonstrate their abilities through services like blood pressure checks and cosmetology touch-ups.

"We welcome the community to come out and enjoy the fun and festivities with the Lanier family," said Lanier Principal Katherine Ryan.

The North Austin area where Lanier High School is located is rich in diversity and culture, which is reflected in the school's student body. The Viking Fall Festival will be an opportunity for Lanier students and the North Austin community to come together.
