Senior Century Day - Wednesday, March 4th (Period 4)
Senior Century Day marks 100 days before graduation, a time to celebrate and a time to enjoy senior friends. All seniors will be seated in the stadium for the panorama picture. Be sure and wear your spirit, club/sport t-shirts or sweatshirts and sit with your group (band with band shirts sit together, cheer in uniform sit together, soccer with sweatshirts sit together, friend in matching outfits, etc). Music, games and fun will follow the picture. Panorama pictures are on sale at the banker's office.
CA Education Code § 51520 prohibits outside organizations from soliciting pupils on school property during school hours, as well as one hour before and one hour after school. Education Code § 51521 requires that all organizations that conduct fundraising to benefit clubs, schools, students or the district at the K-12 level have prior approval from the school district’s governing board.
Individual staff or students may not conduct their own fundraising on campus for personal use. State law prohibits any solicitation—sales or other requests for money—of students on campus except by district-controlled programs, such as the Cafeteria, Student Store, Student Clubs, Parent Booster Clubs, or other board-approved groups. Individual students, teachers and other employees do not fall into these categories. An individual’s fundraising would be taxable income to that individual, reportable to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Franchise Tax Board. Student body groups may participate in the district’s special income tax exempt status, but individuals may not.

Lakewood High School Celebrates Community and Culture at 4th Annual Culture Fair
Lakewood High School proudly hosted its 4th Annual Culture Fair, bringing students, staff, and the greater community together for an unforgettable celebration of diversity. The campus came alive with vibrant musical and dance performances, a stunning display of lowriders, and booths featuring items representing cultures from around the world. Students and staff embraced the spirit of the event by dressing in cultural attire and sharing traditions with pride. The celebration was made even more special by the presence of community leaders, including members of the school board and Mayor Rex Richardson. The event was a success and a powerful reminder of the strength found in our diversity.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our teachers and staff for their support in making this event possible.

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.
