The Guidance Program Overview
The Guidance Department provides information to students and parents through frequent presentations, student conferences, evening programs, and numerous publications. We provide assistance in the planning of a student's educational path and work with parents who are themselves an essential component in their student's educational progress. This web site provides a quick look at services and policies that help students and parents actively participate in meeting a student's goal.

The objectives of the LGHS Guidance Program are two-fold:
  1. To help each student earn a high school diploma
  2. To help each student prepare for an appropriate post-high school goal of his or her choice

The basics of the Guidance Program:
  1. Informational meetings with all freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors throughout each year
  2. Mutual development of a flexible four-year academic plan
  3. Annual parent-information programs
  4. College and career planning and advisement
  5. Monitoring progress towards graduation
  6. Intervention meetings with at-risk students
  7. Post-high school planning beginning freshman year.
