LHS offers more Pre-AP and Advanced Placement courses than other schools in the area.  The large number of students earning college credit attests to the courses' rigor.  An increasing number of National Merit scholars, GLOBE scholars, and Advanced Placement Scholars, and a long-term winning tradition in University Interscholastic League competition offer further evidence of quality curriculum and instruction at LHS.  In addition, the successful Academic Decathlon Team confirms the school's emphasis on academics.
