Schedule Error & Change Information

Counseling
Schedule Error & Change Information

Students who have an error in their schedule should go see their counselor during the period impacted by the error. Schedule changes are only made in person with your counselor. Having a free period during the day is not an error. 

Examples of errors and schedule changes
The student has the wrong level class for their grade (e.g., the student should be in World Lit but is placed in American Lit). 
The student has two classes scheduled during the same period.
The student is missing a core class such as PE, English, social studies, math or science.  

Examples of non-errors that will not result in a schedule change
-The student has changed their mind about a class, e.g., “I did not want to be in Drawing, or I would rather be in...”
-Students who have a free period and would like to add an elective.

ARTS Education
Mural

 
This year LAHS used Prop 28 funds to invite artists to campus to work with our students in creating a beautiful new mural on our gymnasium. Students learned about the history of street art then contributed to the creation of the mural during ACT periods. Click the links below to see a time-lapse video and Talon feature on the project, and be sure to stop by the large gym to see the mural in person next time you're on campus.
