T he school year proved to be academically no breeze for the LHS students. Changes in scholastic requirements and administra¬ tion policies caused the students to buckle down to the books” and take on a serious attitude. Instead of sending out to a computer to process stu¬ dents’ schedules and report cards, the guidance office and new school computer took on these jobs. With their added duties, the guidance counselors didn ' t have the time to hold individual scheduling conferences with the upperclassmen. The upperclassmen chose their classes without as much help from the guidance office. Also the new report cards came out on Wednesday, instead of Friday, and featured the students’ class rank and GPA. Also devised this year to benefit students was the semester exam schedule. This schedule spaced the exams over a three-day period so that the students wouldn’t have several exams on a single day. “I like the fact that we had an hour and a half to work on the exams, but having so many exams in three days still burned me out,” said Tory Kincius. Several students didn’t agree with some new policies this year. Many students felt that the new Committee was too strict and unyielding to their scheduling re¬ quests. After a year of strengthening requirements, students at LHS discovered that changes made now will be to their future benefit. Academics Divider
