FAQs

How do I find out what bus I ride?

How can I find out the student rules, dress code, etc.?

When you come to school on your first day at LHS, you will be required to purchase a planner. Besides being a great assignment notebook and academic resource, the planner is our student hand book. In the beginning pages, all student rules and regulations are listed, as well as helpful information about our building… and a MAP! Do not lose your planner! The back of your planner contains pages of hall passes — the only way you can be excused from class is to have a completed pass.

LHS is HUGE! How will I find my way around?

If you register during the summer, you will be invited to a special Transfer Student Orientation, which will give you a complete overview of LHS. This program is scheduled during the last week of August. You will need to purchase a lock and a student planner at that time — the total cost is about $12. If you register during the school year, come directly up to the Counseling Center on your first day. Before first period, your counselor will meet with you to give you your schedule and introduce you to a student who will give you a tour of the building and help you find a locker. The student will show you where all your classrooms are, fill you in on the “secrets” of the building, and answer all your questions. Then during your lunch period, a different student will pick you up in the Counseling Center and invite you to lunch, show you the cafeteria, and introduce you to people.
