Upon completion of graduation requirements, honor graduates of Lakeside High School will be named.  Honor graduates must have earned at least six academic credits each year in grades 9 through 12 and must have successfully completed the ADV/AP level in required English, science, social studies, and math courses. Additionally, honor graduates must have completed a minimum of two AP courses and Community Service Learning. For students who transfer to Lakeside High School, these requirements are applicable from the time of enrollment at Lakeside through graduation. Act 980 requires that students must complete the state college preparatory core of courses in order to be eligible to be an honor graduate. Seniors who meet these requirements and rank in the top fifteen percent of the senior class will be named honor graduates and classified as follows:

• Summa cum laude – honor graduates whose rank places them in the top five percent of the class. Students who have been enrolled at Lakeside High School for less than one calendar year prior to graduation may not be named a Summa cum laude graduate.

• Magna cum laude – honor graduates whose rank places them in the second five percent of the class.

• Cum laude – honor graduates whose rank places them in the third five percent of the class.

Summa cum laude, Magna cum laude, and Cum laude will be determined after 8 semesters.
