Good morning LCHS Family,
It is a big holiday weekend for Lake County. Prom is taking place on Saturday at Freight, with an after party at 6th street Gym until 3am. Next weekend is graduation for our seniors. Please plan on attending and sending our students off right! Finals are fast approaching and we need all of our students to spend time preparing to finish the academic year strong. Remember that there is no school on Monday, so get out and enjoy the long weekend and all that our beautiful state has to offer.

Prom Details: Juniors and Seniors at LCHS and CCHS are invited to attend this year’s prom, Enchanted Forest. Prom is being held at Freight on Saturday, May 28th from 7-11pm Please see the attachments for more information.
8th Grade Celebration Ceremony: We are excited to announce the reinstatement of our annual 8th grade celebration to honor their accomplishments and work throughout Junior High. The ceremony will be held on June 9th from 6:30-7:30pm in the LCHS auditorium. Our 8th graders should dress to impress! Please keep in mind that grades will not be finalized at this time. The celebration ceremony does not signify promotion.
Finals Week: Finals for students grades 7-11 will take place the week of June 13th. Finals are an important aspect of our academic program. They establish and maintain high expectations for student learning and performance. Finals are also one way students demonstrate their learning for the year and readiness for the next grade level. Please ensure you do not make plans this week. Students must be in attendance. We will only excuse absences for unique circumstances, and it will need to be approved by an administrator. We will not excuse finals themselves. If students miss finals for unexcused reasons, they will be given zero credit. If students miss for excused reasons, they must go in at an alternative time to make them up. Thank you for helping us maintain a high academic standard.
