The plan as of today:

*Masks will be required for everyone.
*Tickets will be given to each senior closer to graduation. (More information to come as we get closer)

AS if 3/25/21 this plan has not changed.
How many credits do I need?
Course selection for next year will be after spring break. This video will help your students understand what courses they need to take. It is very important decisions on courses involve the student. We must work together to prepare for success.
Many careers are covered: Meteorologist, Video Editor, Police Officer, Realtor, Actor, Nurse, Doctor, Interior Design, Banking, Magician, Construction, Graphic Design, Sonographer, & more!!!
Parents- Interested in doing a virtual tour to colleges from home?
--IN THE "LAHS G-CLASSROOM" STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO DO VIRTUAL TOURS WITH COLLEGES. A SCAVENGER HUNT HAS BEEN ADDED. THIS WILL ALLOW THE STUDENT TO LOOK UP INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE IMPORTANT TO THEM WHEN LOOKING AT COLLEGES.
Scholarship & College Information

Mrs. Harp forwards college and scholarship information as well. CHECK your student e-mail!!
Start earning college credit
University of Oklahoma
This summer, students can amplify their Concurrent Enrollment experience by taking five hours of college credit at OU and experiencing life as a Sooner through our Sooner Discovery program, which will occur virtually for the summer of 2021. Sooner Discovery’s goal is to provide high school students a unique and full college immersion experience.
Students can also take classes online or on campus this summer by applying for Concurrent Enrollment. Rising Oklahoma seniors will receive a tuition waiver from the state for up to 18 hours their senior year, so all they would have to pay is a reduced fee rate of $80 per hour! You can find the application here.
Yearbook
YEARBOOK ALERT:
IT’S LOVED FOREVER
The hand-written notes from classmates. Actual PRINTED photos. The chance to look back at outdated hairstyles. All this and more is why there's nothing like a yearbook.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Even during these unusual times, the Little Axe High School yearbook team is working hard to create a yearbook that is one-of-a-kind and reflects the unique moments that students are experiencing this year.
