My experience was not poor but I do feel that making a couple changes could make others' experiences better. Lancaster High School should give the same amount of money to music and arts as they do sports. The music and art departments are becoming smaller due to the large emphasis on sports.

The worst experience I've had at Lancaster was not being able to find a spot in the parking lot. It gets very busy and hard to find them.

My experience at Lancaster high school was a time for me to find who I wanted to be, what I like to do, and help me overcome struggles. I learned a lot about my limits are but it doesn't stop me from doing what I love. I've joined both theater and marching band in my high school career. They have both helped me be more confident in what I am doing. It also gave me a chance to learn new things every day. I enjoy all the teacher at Lancaster high school. I cannot wait to start a new chapter in my life. My Lancaster high school experience will be one to remember and one I enjoyed. Thank you Lancaster High School.

Had to find out from my coworker who was in my graduating class that LHS already has had reunions for the class of 2018, weird that both myself and my husband NEVER received any invitation to this event even though we both were in the class of 2018 and we still live in Lancaster. Glad to see theyre...

I did have some positive experiences because of LHS, but overall I think of this school with dread. The climate created by students here is very harsh. People see bad things happening & look away.

I am very pleased with the education my son received at LHS. He worked hard, had very good teachers and made great friends. His college gave him a full ride at a very small private college. thanks to all at LHS.
