LEAD Week is here! Admin will randomly be selecting students and staff to draw a “letter” to tell us what that letter stands for in our Guidelines for Success:
L - Leaders by example; E - Effective collaborators; A - Accountable; D = Dedicated and Dependable.

A Safe & Secure Campus
In an effort to maintain a safe and secure campus, the Lakewood High School Administration together with LBUSD School Safety, conduct random searches of our students. Thank you for your continued support in keeping Lakewood a safe place.

Merit Scholars Field Trip to The Natural History Museum of L.A. 2/5/26
Last Wednesday, students from the Merit Scholars pathway attended The Natural History Museum of L.A. Students were able to hear an interesting lecture on malacology (study of mollusks) from expert, Dr. Jann Vendetti. We were all intrigued and asked a few questions during the presentation on the thousands of snails and other creatures that fall in this category. Then, we wandered into a few exhibits on the mammals that currently inhabit our earth. Sadly, quite a few are in danger of being extinct. We had time for a lovely lunch outside in the sunshine before exploring a few more rooms. We were able to admire the precious gems on display, read about dinosaur fossils, and lastly we explored the gardens. All in all, it was a fun and educational experience for all of us.
Dress Code Policy
At our school, we encourage students to dress for academic success by following a respectful and appropriate dress code. Clothes should cover all undergarments, with no sagging bottoms. To maintain a professional environment, bare stomachs, shoulders, and backs are not allowed, and ski masks should not be worn. On Thursdays, students can show college spirit, while Fridays are encouraged for LHS Spirit Day. Clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, weapons, profanity, or sexual content is prohibited, as are summer or weekend clothes.
The administration reserves the right to request students change or call home if their clothing is deemed inappropriate.
