LHS Parents,
2025-2026 School Start Time and Daily Schedule
For the 25-26 school year, we will be pushing back our start time. School will start at 8:15am and end at 2:50. I am excited about this because later start times are better for students' sleep schedules and can have a positive impact on mental health. I believe it will also be safer for our students as they will be driving and walking to school in daylight.
We have also made adjustments in our daily schedule that has eliminated split classes during lunch time where a class would go half the period, go to lunch, and return back to class to finish the period.
Below are links to the new bell schedule and the school academic calendar for next year.
25-26 LHS Class Scheduling
The scheduling process has begun for next school year!
Each school year as students move closer to graduation, they tend to have more options of classes they can take. It can be difficult making decisions regarding classes that are required and figuring out the appropriate level of those classes, and deciding what electives most interest them and making sometimes difficult choices on which one’s to select.
We always want students to push themselves and select rigorous courses, but also find balance with elective classes that they enjoy. This can be tough. I believe it is important for you to have a conversation with your student on what courses they are taking and why. The “why” is important. Sometimes they make choices because they feel they have to in order to get where they want to be. Their reasoning sometimes is accurate, but sometimes is not. By having these conversations, you can have a better understanding of what they are thinking. You can help them tap into resources that can help determine if they are making choices based on fact and not a perception or opinion.
We have some courses that are only offered once per day. These are referred to as “singletons”, meaning if a student wants to take that class, they have to take it during the one period it is offered and it may conflict with another class they want. This forces them to have to make a tough choice. Having conversations ahead of time regarding the “why” may assist you in helping them make the best decision if they find themselves in this situation.
Hopefully this provides you some insight on the scheduling process and helps you in conversations you have.

College Credit Plus Meeting 1/29/2025
The Ohio Department of Higher Education established the College Credit Plus (CCP) program to enhance students' college and career readiness and postsecondary options. The CCP program enables college-ready 7-12 grade students who qualify for college admission to take college-level courses. Students may earn both high school and transcripted college credit upon successful completion of coursework. If you are interested in learning more about CCP, please come and join the LHS counselors for the annual CCP meeting on January 29, 2025, at 6:30 PM in the LHS Auditorium. We strongly encourage students to attend this event. There will be a brief overview of the program as well as tables set up with many of the local colleges being represented.
