Lancaster High School is a spirited and united community of Legends. From Spirit Weeks to football games, or homecoming and prom to our annual bonfire, the school creates welcoming and fun events for the entire student body and even faculty to enjoy. Our school puts on fundraisers like Food Drives, Toy Drives, Bald4Bucks, and Blood Drives to help those less fortunate or in need. The majority of the faculty are kind, helpful, and intelligent, while our principals are very honorable. The student body, for the most part, is also kind and very prideful of the school. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience at Lancaster and will always remember my high school years here.
Lancaster High School has a great community of students and staff members. They offer different academies that students can apply to join in order to learn more about possible future career fields. The Academy of Finance offers courses for students who are interested in business or finance fields, as well as opportunities for students to learn about basic financial literacy. The Leadership Academy strengthens students leadership skills and prepares them to become effective leaders in their professional and personal lives. These are just two of the great academies offered.
School experiences, especially in high school, can be very different from everyone else's. I can say without a doubt that Lancaster High school is far from a perfect school however there lots of redeeming qualities when you're on campus, for example, school spirit amongst the students make events much more fun to be apart of, also teachers will try new and innovative ways of getting students engaged in the academic environment which has benefitted me lots, and has obviously put forth a lot of time and effort into planning major school events i.e. Prom and Homecoming. Unfortunately this school in particular suffers problems in terms of keeping the building up to date, mainly pertaining to the fact that the school is over 50 years old. While renovations are being done, I'm still not impressed.
