    Being the Parent of one of the LCS's students, I am aware of the positive contribution Ms. Grace Noronha has made towards the betterment of LCS since its inception. The Vision of the Late Fr. Bernard D'Souza & the proactive and Dynamic approach of Ms. Noronha has made LCS a Great Institution. We wish her all the very best and a Happy Retired Life.
