The

Principal’s MessageLakeview High School is considered by many to be one of the most prominent schools in Southwest Michigan. To say that we are dominant both academically and athletically is an understatement. It is that time of year to review and celebrate the accomplishments of our students. I am sure I am missing or I am just unaware of additional achievements and for that I apologize, but to summarize:

• 314 of 322 (97.5%) LHS graduates received some form of recognition for their academic achievements or outstanding performance in their particular program (33.7 and 41.5% the previous two years – figures for the previous two years will be given for each indicator listed). 2012 was the first year for Legacy Scholars.

• 285 of 322 (88.5%) LHS graduates will be attending some form of post-secondary education (91.8 and 93.7%). 116 (36.9%) will be attending four-year institutions (42.2% and 43.1%), 169 (52%) will be attending two-year institutions (45.4% and 45.8%), and 12 (3.7%) will be attending technical/trade schools (4.2% and 4.7%).

• 607 students (58.9%) of the current 10-12th grade classes were recognized at the Annual Academic Recognition Awards Program in October. Students are recognized for earning honor roll status during either or both semesters of the previous school year (61.9% and 64.9%)

• 746 (55.3%) of LHS students earned honor roll status first semester (50.9% and 51.8 %) and 728 (54.2%) did the same second semester (53.6% and 55.2%).

• At the Michigan Industrial and Technology Education Society (MITES) regional competition, LHS Students earned 79 first through fourth place awards (78 and 40). At the state competition, LHS students earned 21 awards (36 and 0) including 6 first place awards (3 and 0).

• LHS fields 20 varsity athletic teams. These twenty teams won 16 conference championships (14 and 12), 12 city championships (12 and 9), 1 district championships (1 and 3), and 1 regional championships (2 and 2).

• Individually, Spartan athletes earned 27 conference championships (27 and 28), 62 city championships (52 and 59), 2 district championships (0 and 0), 9 regional championships (14 and 10), 1 state runner-up finishes (0 and 0) and 1 state championship (3 and 4).
