Lake Orion High School is a public secondary institution located in Lake Orion, Michigan. The large campus (377,756 square feet) features a centralized "commons area", which serves as a distribution center to the "wings". The commons area features the cafeteria and student store, as well as the main office. Each wing features classrooms, computer labs, student lockers, and faculty offices. It is topped by a large cone-shaped skylight (pictured at right).
The campus also features a gymnasium, natatorium, and auditorium; all of which are suitable for state-level competitions or prouctions. The Information Resource Center is a reconceptualized vision of a library, featuring computers, tech-ed labs, and studio classrooms.
LOHS offers 24 varsity sports, and competes in the Oakland Activities Association. At the state level, the school is classified as "Class A" or "Division 1".
History
The current site of LOHS opened in the Fall of 1997. The previous building to house LOHS is located nearby, and is now used as a Community Education Resource Center. It is commonly referred to as the "CERC Building". Opened in 1957, it housed classes for high school students for 40 years. During the 1980's and 1990's the building became severly limited in space and eventually only served grades 10-12. Lake Orion High School was originally established on Elizabeth Street in the Village of Lake Orion. Population growth in Lake Orion and Orion Township necessitated the construction of each school, particularly the most recent.
