Ed Welch is one of the most beloved personalities at LPO. With Ed’s ability to speak fluent “teenager” the students all know they can count on Ed if there is something they don’t understand about Math. Not only is Ed an amazing teacher, he is also a master fly fisherman and most weekends he cannot be found floating down some river that her refuses to identify. “11 minute Ed” as he is affectionately known as by his fellow staff members because of his humorous storytelling at graduation. Ed is an integral part of the LPO staff.
