Personal health may just be an elective for Lakota’s junior school students now. But the parent feedback that Hopewell Junior School health teacher Lori Jones has received over the years echoes her own thoughts about its significance. “This is the most important class my kid is ever going to take,” she hears on repeat after every curriculum night.

INTENT FORM:

Any student that would like the opportunity to participate in the College Credit Plus program for the 25/26 school year, must complete and submit the State mandatory CCP Intent form by April 1st. Submitting the CCP Intent form does NOT commit you to participating in the program. However, if you do NOT submit the CCP Intent form you will not have the option to participate in the CCP program during the 25/26 school year.

Lakota Local School announces changes to its summer school offerings beginning in 2025. The changes apply to credit recovery, high school credit offerings and the advanced math bridge program. Summer school will be offered May 27-June 27.

Behind the long line-up of projects in a new junior school math elective is a whole lot of geometry, algebra, probability, and other grade-level math concepts. “There isn’t always time to apply concepts in a core math class,” said Hopewell Junior School's "Next Generation Stats" teacher Joseph Bobinger. “This class makes them look at math differently and see how much it is around them all the time.”

Lakota's 2024 Secondary Summer School is now closed.
