HR Imaging will provide more information at the mandatory Graduation Rehearsal.

Seniors must clear their record of fines, fees or books owed to the school.
Any student still owing obligations to LHS will NOT receive a diploma or final transcript until their record is cleared.
To receive your diploma:
- By May 11th, Login to myschoolbucks.com, set up an account and pay fees.
- Call Mrs. Gardner in the financial office at 740-681-7540 for questions about fees.

Students must meet state graduation requirements AND earn enough points in each class and / or have all online Edgenuity courses completed by Friday, May 15th to be able to participate in the graduation ceremony.

LHS expects appropriate behavior at all times from all students.
Commencement is a formal, dignified ceremony.
- Everyone's behavior, including dress, should reflect that mood.
- Disruptive behavior could result in the violator being escorted from the area and / or the ceremony being stopped.
Violations of the LHS Student Code of Conduct (including vandalism and truancy) could result in out-of-school suspension and / or denial of participation in the graduation ceremony.
After 13 years of hard work, it would be extremely disappointing to you, your family, friends, and staff at LHS to see you excluded from graduation. We hope to see all seniors receive their diplomas with dignity and pride so please do not do anything to spoil the final chapter of your high school career.
