Lakeside High School is pleased to proceed with our new School Improvement Plan, "Challenging Minds, Building Character." The goal of the plan is to focus our resources, energy, and time on the core mission of the school, "...educating students to become responsible, contributing members of society."

POWER Program  Lakeside High School administration, teachers, counseling center, parents, and students helped create a program to help all of us create a positive learning community in our school.  Our POWER program will promote and reward students and staff that make positive contributions to our students using the five POWER Principles:  Pride;     Ownership;   Warmth;    Encouragement;   Respect 

As a reminder and positive way to show support for the POWER Principles, students and staff are invited to sign the POWER Pledge: 
I promise to apply the POWER Principles at Lakeside High School, while participating in any school activity, or while attending any school-sponsored event. 
Pride:   I will take pride in myself, others, and my school. 
Ownership:  I will take responsibility for my actions and attitude.  I will care for others and my school.  I will hold others accountable to the POWER Principles, seeking adult help if needed. 
Warmth:  I will create a warm school community where all students, staff, parents are welcome.  I will help care for others. 
Encouragement:  I will set and seek personal, academic, and professional goals.  I will motivate and encourage others to improve themselves and meet their goals. 
Respect:  I will respect myself, others, and the learning environment of my school.  I will treat others with dignity and carefully confront behavior that degrades others. 

LHS is pleased to announce that we have upgraded the PASS System so that students and parents will now be able to access midterm and quarter progress reports, semester grades, payments and fees, GPA history, and attendance anywhere with web access.
