At Lockport High School West (LHS West), we are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where at-risk and special needs students can access alternative opportunities for success. Our holistic approach ensures that the needs of the whole student are met, creating meaningful connections between faculty, staff, community, parents, and students.
We believe that making connections promotes positive and healthy choices, academically, socially, and emotionally. Our mission is to support students in achieving success on multiple levels.
LHS West is a proactive opportunity for success, moving away from the notion of reactive, punitive placements. We strive to promote a positive perception through our students' achievements. At LHS West, students recognize the program as an opportunity and take ownership of their journey toward success.
Join us at LHS West, where every student is empowered to thrive and succeed.
