We achieve this by providing a unique academic experience that fosters curiosity and lays the foundations for lifelong learning.
Academic Excellence

Our academic departments include Body-Mind Education, English, History, Mathematics, Performing Arts, Dance, Music, Theatre, Science, Technical Arts, and World Languages.
Community Engagement
At LWHS, we believe that education is not solely confined to the classroom. We engage in meaningful service-based collaborations that have lasting effects on organizations and students alike. Our students hone their skills by meeting the needs of community partners, and are further motivated to develop their own projects and organizations to address issues of equity, access, and social justice.
Public Purpose Program
Our Public Purpose Program is centered around fostering a sense of community and social responsibility. We provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful service-based projects that benefit local and global communities. This program is designed to develop students' skills in problem-solving, leadership, and collaboration.
College and Career Readiness
We believe that education is a lifelong journey. Our College Counseling department offers guidance and support to students as they prepare for post-secondary education and careers. We also offer a range of extracurricular activities, including clubs, teams, and volunteer opportunities, to help students develop their interests and passions.
iversity and Inclusion
At LWHS, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment that values the contributions of all individuals. We recognize that diversity drives innovation, creativity, and growth, and we strive to create a community that is welcoming and supportive of all students, regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
