Hello LOHS Students and Families,


We officially have two weeks left of school, and yet we have so much more to do before the year is over. With the weather warming up, it is important that we remember that all clothing should remain school appropriate.


As finals approach, it's crucial that you prepare effectively. Here are some helpful tips that will get you ready for June 6 and 7:

  1. Start Early: Don't cram! Begin studying or working on projects well in advance to avoid last-minute stress.

  2. Organize Your Time: Create a study schedule or project timeline to stay on track. Break tasks into manageable chunks.

  3. Review Materials: Focus on understanding key concepts rather than memorizing. Use study guides, notes, and textbooks to reinforce your knowledge.

  4. Practice Regularly: Test yourself with practice exams or quizzes to identify areas needing improvement. Active recall helps solidify information.

  5. Stay Healthy: Get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. A healthy body supports a healthy mind, improving focus and memory.

  6. Seek Help: Don't hesitate to ask teachers, classmates, or tutors for clarification or assistance.


In addition to these tips, we have added some resources in the newsletter for you to prepare.


Remember, your hard work will pay off! You've got this. Good luck!

Michigan Tech and LIFT are excited to announce a new program for high school students in Detroit this summer! Running July 8-11, 2024, Manufacturing for Tomorrow provides an intensive, hands-on exploration of several key areas of manufacturing, including robotics, CNC programming, CAD design, welding, and more. Students will meet and learn from industry leaders and visit several local facilities during the week. The program takes place from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. each day and includes lunch; the program is completely free thanks to our generous sponsors.


Interested students should apply here; priority given to students who apply by June 17, 2024. Please see the attached flyer and share with your networks. Thank you!
