Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
On behalf of the entire Lake View High School staff, we welcome all returning Wildcats. We have a proud
tradition here at Lake View High School, and we invite everyone to be an integral part of our Wildcat family.
We have an extraordinary school year planned and we look forward to sharing the 2014-2015 school year with
you at our upcoming school orientation.
Lake View High School is committed to providing quality learning for every student, every day. As a collective
team of parents, students, staff, and community leaders working collaboratively on behalf of our children, we
can ensure that all students learn at high levels and that all students develop their talents, gifts, and passion.
It is our collective goal to equip students with the college and career readiness skills to successfully pursue
their post-secondary aspirations. It is through our commitment to use best practices, and our earnest desire
to capture the hearts of our students that our academic community will continue to thrive and be a place for
our students to call home.
As we prepare for the new school year, all parents, guardians, and students are expected to attend the high
school orientation process. Greater success is experienced when you know what to expect and when you are
prepared. Therefore, our staff has developed an informative orientation program that will help each student
and family get ready for a successful school year.
We invite you to get involved and become an active team member of our Lake View family! Lake View is a
wonderful place to learn while also participating in academic, athletic, artistic and extracurricular
opportunities. We provide ongoing volunteering in our community and support students to explore their
dreams and exceed goals. We look forward to seeing you at orientation!
Wildcat Pride,
Lake View High School Counseling Team
