Lowell High School is home to the Red Arrows and is proud to offer a diverse range of athletics, extracurricular activities and a world-class curriculum. The Red Arrows mascot was officially adopted in 1947 to honor the 32nd Division of the U.S. Army with the same nickname. This Kent County public high school supports a large student population and ranks highly in academic achievement. Students from ninth through 12th grade can participate in 27 varsity athletic programs. Lowell High student-athletes have recently won state championships and been honored with awards in wrestling, volleyball and equestrian competitions. Other extracurricular opportunities, such as band, choir and theater, give students a creative outlet where they can nurture a passion for performing arts. Robotics club, student council, National Honor Society and a board game club are just a few of the varied extracurriculars that enrich student life at Lowell High. An Agri-Science Vocational Education program and advanced placement courses help prepare students for college. These programs are offered as part of a competitive trimester curriculum schedule. Welcoming teachers and a supportive community help inspire local high school students to remain “Red Arrows for life.”

It is a very rural area with sort of a close minded atmosphere. This has recently been changing and becoming more accepting.

I liked the teachers at LHS. They are willing to go the extra mile to make sure I (and my classmates) understand the material. It is fun to go to school to see them and it makes me feel good to make my teachers proud. I have had some of my teachers more than one year of my high school career. They are the kind of people I think I will keep in touch with after I graduate. I wish I had known more about AP classes at a younger age. I did not start taking AP classes until my senior year. And I feel like that put me at a disadvantage. My class advisor/counselor did not seem to take a genuine interest in me or my interests. I did take a college class during my junior year at our local community college. This was at the urging of one of my teachers, but I feel like, again, this should have been the interest or urging of my counselor. The college class was tough, but I am thankful to my teacher for encouraging me to take it.

At Lowell the environment is so welcoming to new people that choose to go there, and coming from an athlete myself I feel that the athletics do a very good job setting you up for success. I personally wouldn't change a thing

I graduated years ago and have graduated 2 children from LHS and about to graduate a 3rd. As with all things, their are good and bad. For me, the good outweighs the bad. And as in life, one needs to apply themselves to maximize your experience. Sports - good and bad. We prefer travel. A lot of stude...

I didn't learn anything. They just went over stuff super fast- made us memorize. Took test. Then forgot about it. NO HANDS ON LEARNING. NO PROJECTS. NO FUN. Felt like a waste of time. Glad I am moving.

The football program has ruined Lowell as a town and school. Knoll Dean is responsible for this terrible turn. The athlete's are treated as god's and forget the others. The Deans need to leave Lowell for good
