    Littleton High School offers a variety of academic courses, ranging from virtual high school courses to classroom courses. There are only about 450 students at the school, but there are quite a few sports teams for the size of the school. The bathrooms are clean and the administration is very responsive to issues throughout the school. The upperclassmen and teachers try to culture a welcoming environment for all students and there are quite a few fun events throughout the year, such as spirit weeks, pep rallies, and a new student orientation, which many students can get involved in.

    LHS is very much a small-town school. Most students have known each other since elementary school, but new kids don't seem to have much of an issue finding friends. I think that LHS students generally care about their grades and performance in school, although they may not put in the work to get them. The limited AP courses that are offered always fill up, because most people are after the college credits, rather than any particular interest in the subject.
    Athletics are a big part of LHS. Over 50% of students participate in at least one athletic season. Our teams perform consistently well (some more so than others). That being said, I would say the majority of kids are artistically inclined as well. Currently, almost a fourth of the school is enrolled in the band. Many others are involved in some other musical interest. The drama program is the most popular extracurricular activity outside of sports. However, the school does not provide any significant funding for the arts.
    As a small school, it is difficult for LHS to provide all the resources and opportunities that students need. There are not enough teachers and classes, but the administration and guidance department try to find solutions when LHS doesn't meet students' needs. The teachers are mostly excellent, and the guidance counselors are amazing. The school culture is heavily sports-focused to the point of neglect regarding arts and academics. There are very few opportunities for creative students. As a result of the lack of diversity of Littleton and its school district, there is an alarming undercurrent of racism and xenophobia. The school needs to improve in diversity education, mental health resources, schedule flexibility, and support of the arts.
