Welcome Message from the Principal!

Hello and welcome to the Lawton High School, Home of Champions, web site. Home of Champions was a title bestowed on LHS by the Oklahoma State Legislature in 1962. LHS won all five of the major sports State Championship titles. It is a title that we are proud of and continue to build upon.

This site is a prime example of our commitment to student excellence and expression as it is created, developed, and maintained by our Web Page Design classes. Of course, there is oversight of this project by one of our highly qualified, state certified teachers, Mrs. Lynn Cordes. Her guidance cannot be overstated; however, she would be the first person to give credit for the ultimate outcome of this site to our exceptional students.

We are a large high school with our state enrollment number from October being 1,914 students for the 2009-2010 school year.Despite our size, we go to great lengths to know our students individually and use our unique diversities and situations to allow all students a varied array of opportunity to explore and become involved at LHS.

In short, to find their "Home" and contribute as a Champion in ways that work for their individual personalities. Whether it is through academics, artistry, music, civics, athletics, dance, or socially, we value and honor all forms of healthy, positive interaction and expression. So, please connect to any and all links that peak your interest. If it happens to be a link that is still "under construction," click on the club/organization sponsor link on the web page your are viewing and send specific inquiries there or contact one of the following individuals for more information:

-Angie Meservy, Activities Director
-Lynn Cordes, Webmaster
-Karen Beavers, Yearbook/Tatler Sponsor

Our goal at Lawton High School is to promote and develop healthy, well-rounded students that can envision all of the possibilities for their future, especially in the midst of challenges which often provide the greatest opportunities for growth that surpasses any external limitation. Therefore, we have cut to the heart of the matter in our mission and vision statements which are:

We believe in our students and each other.

"Sans limites--No limits!"

Thank you for taking the time to browse our site. It is filled with valuable information for consideration and planning. If you are planning a move to or from our community, please pay special attention to the school calendar to look for natural breaks in the semesters to help make decisions about move dates. Remember all Lawton Public School students are required to take semester exams on dates dictated by the District unless the student is exempt. (Click here for semester exam exemption qualifications and 10 attendance policy.)

Otherwise, the only time an exception will be considered for a change of the exam schedule will be with military orders reflecting a reportig date to the new duty station prior to January 1st of the following year or documentation of a death of an immediate family member. Therefore, vacations, especially those involving airline tickets, should not be scheduled during testing as students still will be required to test on the regular test day.

If you have a need for information that is not currently available on this site or you have a suggestion for consideration as an addition or link, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Once a Wolverine, Always a Wolverine!
