If the lock is not broken or lost, the student will be credited the cost of the lock the following year. The school cannot assume liability for stolen articles. Students are allowed limited access to the locker (i.e. prior to period 1, at lunch time, and after dismissal). Access to the locker area is only possible at other times during the day with the permission of the school administration.

Student Union & Student Leadership

LCCHS Student Union and Leadership classes organize many of the school’s social activities such as dances, carnival, and fund-raisers. We hope that all students will support and encourage the activities put on by these students.

Yearbook

The yearbook is an annual publication of the student yearbook committee. It is a wonderful souvenir made up of pictures of the students, their social activities, clubs, teams, as well as samples of art and literature. Please note that pictures of all students appear in the yearbook unless otherwise requested by parents at the beginning of the school year. All students will receive a yearbook. The cost is included in the school fees. It is because of the large order that the cost is largely reduced.

Extra Curricular Activities Privileges

Students deemed not to have completed course requirements will be asked to make up the deficiency before being allowed to participate in extra curricular activities be they intramural sports, interscholastic sports, trips, clubs, etc. The following are examples of circumstances that would necessitate a student having to re-qualify to participate in such activities.

1. Poor attendance (legitimate absences or otherwise) and chronic lates. The status of students whose attendance record shows an excess of five missed days in any given term will be reviewed by the administration.

2. Failure to submit major assignments or projects as a reflection of a lack of academic effort.
