My time at Lake Orion High School was a wonderful experience. My underclassmen years in high school were a bit rough, and my GPA was reflected by that. When I reached my Junior year, I made a change a change in my life and began to focus on my academics. The resources provided to me at LOHS allowed me to catch up where I was behind, improve my GPA, and even gave me the opportunity to earn 22 college credits through AP classes in my senior year. Lake Orin High School will forever be important to my journey, and is responsible for my success.

This high school has high suicide rates for a reason. In LOHS, you have a diverse set of economic backgrounds that I think are the root cause of its issues. You have rich kids from the outskirts of Clarkston to the trailer park kids and everyone in between. Mean and judgmental popular types pick on...
