We appreciate the partnership of our students, families, and staff in helping reinforce expectations and prioritize a positive campus environment.
We will continue to have all students enter campus through the front gate each morning for the remainder of the school year. To help ensure a smooth and efficient entry process, please remind students to have their Minga ID or hard copy school ID ready before entering the line.
Thank you again for your ongoing support in keeping Lakewood High School safe, respectful, and focused on learning.

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.

This Canvas tile has been created to provide students with easy access to important resources, tools, and support all in one place. Our goal is to simplify the process of finding what you need, when you need it, so you can stay organized, informed, and focused on your success. Be sure to check back regularly as resources may be updated throughout the year.

Water Walk Event - 4/22
Water Walk is Wednesday, April 22 from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm. Earth Day. Everyone is welcome to this event. The event is to share awareness of what developing countries, especially girls, need to do to get water. We create a simulation of what people do, especially young girls, to get water around campus carrying a bucket of water. A donation of $20 gets you a Water Walk shirt, and a $5 donation will get you a succulent from the One World Garden while supplies last. Contact Ms. Magaña if you would like to get the items before the walk. All donations go to the African Well Fund which is the organization that helps build water wells in sub-Sahara Africa. Help the One World Club build more water wells to those in need.

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.
