Lake Orion High School

Thank you, LOCS families, for taking the time to vote on the February 27 millage proposals for Lake Orion Community Schools. As the district shared following the results, each millage passed with more than 60% support, certainly due to the turnout of our families.

Each replacement millage was a 10-year proposal, so their passage ensures full student funding from the state of Michigan from the non-homestead millage and the expanded allowable uses from the sinking fund millage.

Our school’s goal was to provide as much education and information about the proposals so that voters were appropriately informed as they completed their ballot.

Your investment in our students’ education and the strength of the district moving forward is greatly appreciated.

Still need help paying for college? We have a few local scholarships with upcoming due dates in March! See if your student qualifies for the Metro Bureau, North Oakland Community Coalition, Oakview, Oakland Career & Technical Educators' Association, Oakland Community College, or Realtor Scholarship Fund. See our full list of scholarships here or contact the Counseling Department for more details.

LOHS is conducting stakeholder surveys for parents/guardians, students, and teachers/staff. The purpose of these surveys is to identify areas of strength for LOHS, as well as areas of concern or need.

Teacher and Student surveys will be completed during the school day on Tuesday, March 5th. LOHS is seeking parents and guardians of LOHS students to take a few minutes out of their day to complete this anonymous survey. The survey can be completed via the link below and will be available today, Monday, March 4 through Friday, March 15.

Dear LOHS Parents,

Lake Orion High School is extremely excited to announce a continuation of our free tutoring program. This program will allow your child to connect directly with LOHS staff in specific content areas (math, science, social studies, etc.) outside of normal school hours. These tutoring sessions are one hour and can take place either in person or virtually through Microsoft Teams (this is decided between the tutor and the student(s) in the group). This tutoring is intended as remediation as opposed to homework help; however, homework is often utilized to teach skills. As we do not have an inexhaustible number of tutors available, this program is on a first come, first serve basis.

To sign up your child, please fill out this form.

If you have additional questions, please contact Cathy Srock at Catherine.Srock@LOk12.org.

Service hours must be completed through a non-profit organization or event that benefits the community and should focus on making a positive impact on others. Students may not complete service hours by “helping” in a business as free labor. Additionally, students may not choose to not be paid and count that as service hours, such as babysitting and animal care. Please review Rules and Regulations of Hours on the LOHS Service Learning website.

If you have any questions about the Acorn2Oak please reach out to: info@acorn2oakgrant.com

Students may also TEAMS message or send an email to Mrs. Everitt

It's Charity Week at LOHS, culminating with the annual Unified Basketball game on Friday, and we'll have live coverage! Here's at look at our plan for the week. Tune in at www.dragonbroadcasting.org.

Thank you for taking the time to recognize one of Lake Orion Community Schools' staff members for their excellence.

The intent of the Distinguished Dragon program is to ensure that staff members who go above and beyond their regular duties are appreciated. The additional effort or support can range from helping an individual to helping a group or any effort that seems worthy of praise.

The staff member can be nominated by a student, parent, community member or even their own colleague. We ask for the submitter's name and contact information to follow up with specific questions if necessary.

Please complete the form entirely so the individual can be appropriately honored for their contributions.

The 2024-25 Lake Orion Community Schools calendars are now available by visiting the LakeOrionSchools.org calendar page. A single sheet of the important dates is also listed on that page.
