LHS TIGER TALK
March 9, 2023
Good Afternoon Loveland High School Families,
I am not sure how it is possible, but we have reached the end of the 3rd quarter! Students were extremely busy this week as they finished the quarter and are now looking forward to our last 9 weeks.
Today we celebrated 5 of our students who were Scholastic Art Winners and were visited by State Representative Baker. We also had a huge send-off for our two state wrestlers who will be competing in Columbus this weekend!
As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, March 10th. Don’t forget to spring those clocks forward on Sunday!
Have a great weekend,
Adam Reed, Brian Conatser, Mary Beth Corbin, and Rich Bryant

Each school year Loveland High School pauses from our usual processes to give students an opportunity to learn through community service and personal growth activities. The date for this in 2023-24 will be Wednesday, October 11. The members of the class of 2024 will participate in either community service, a college visit or a career shadow. Those in the class of 2027 will continue to learn about community engagement and personal growth with activities that offer a follow up to Link Crew Freshman Orientation. Students in the classes of 2025 and 2026 get to choose from one of the following options:
ASVAB Career Exploration Program
Not just for those who are planning on serving our nation in the military, the ASVAB is a valuable career assessment that can help students to compare their results with the career research that is done in Naviance. While there is no obligation to pursue military service for any student who opts to take the ASVAB, this assessment can help those who are considering enlisting to make plans for specific jobs in the service. Please see this link for more information - https://asvabprogram.com/
Practice ACT
Taking a practice ACT can help those students who are interested in experiencing a college readiness assessment that will lead to suggestions for future improvement. Provided by LEAP, students will take a retired ACT test in order to learn about what to expect when sitting for an official test session. Score reports will be emailed directly to the students. See this link for a sample report - Sample ACT Diagnostic Report
PSAT
The PSAT serves as the preliminary SAT and also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (when taken in 11th grade). Students who choose this option will have access to free, personalized online prep tools for the SAT by linking their College Board accounts with Khan Academy. Taking this assessment in both grades 10 and 11 will allow for a measurement of college readiness growth. Please see this link for more information - https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10
WorkKeys
WorkKeys is an assessment for students who are considering earning an industry-recognized credential while in high school. Students who choose this option will be assessed in Applied Math, Graphic Literacy and Workplace Documents. Any student who is giving consideration to attending Great Oaks or going into the workforce after high school is encouraged to choose this option. Please see this link for more information - http://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/workkeys-for-job-seekers/preparation.html
Members of the classes of 2025 and 2026 will choose an activity that will best assist them with making plans for after high school through a Google form that is completed during advisory on Thursday, March 16. Please be sure to discuss this as a family. A selection will be made on the student’s behalf for anyone who does not complete the google form. Please contact Mr. Mitchell at mitchedr@lovelandschools.org with any questions. Thank you!
