Students who choose to DoorDash, GrubHub or have food deliveries to the high school may NOT retrieve their order until their scheduled lunch period on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday as to not disrupt their class environment.
Wednesdays we will not allow food deliveries to the building during the school day. Students coming from OSTC MUST PLAN ACCORDINGLY, especially on Homeroom days.
Please note, all students receive a free breakfast and lunch through food services. On Wednesdays breakfast is served and the snack bar and school store are both open.
The North Oakland Community Coalition (NOCC) is working to reduce substance misuse and address mental health concerns among youth and adults in our community. Your completion of this survey will help create a better understanding of what is happening in our community. We will use this information to inform the planning of future coalition efforts.
The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 5 - 10 minutes to complete.

OSTC Students and Families,
If you are an Oakland Schools Technical Campus (OSTC) student, be advised you will have varying schedules on Wednesdays. It is important to review this information as to not miss classes in either location.
This schedule has been shared with our Northeast and Northwest campuses, as well as LOHS Staff. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your counselors or Mrs. Everitt.
Looking for a way to give back to the LOHS Staff, consider being a part of the LOHS Parent Group. This group meets approx 4-6 times a year, and is NOT a big time commitment.

More information regarding College visits will come next week.
In addition, LOHS is obligated to provide basic directory information to military recruiters. Please complete this form to opt-out of providing that information to military recruiters.
