LL: It’s very welcoming, and just a good place with high standards. Feel the energy of the students and the staff?

MVN: What are you nervous about this year?

MVN: What is your favorite thing about Mill Valley so far?

LL: I think just the energy of the students and the energy of the staff. The energy around the athletics program is amazing.
