On April 17, "Electric and Eclectic: A District Showcase" will highlight the smorgasbord of opportunities and talented array of students in the Lakewood City Schools. It is a celebration of all that goes on in our schools! Lakewood High will be transformed into a showcase of music and dance performances, art displays, interactive science stations, health and fitness stations, engineering demos, club displays and even a soup & salad bar in the Ranger Cafe. And that's just the start! The event runs from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and a schedule of alll the performances can be found here.
While musical groups from The Lakewood Project to the Harrison Tappers will be performing on the Civic Stage and in the North Gym, the rest of the high school will be filled with demonstrations and samples of just a slice of the type of programs our students are engaged in and the extracurricular activities that are enriching them.
On the first floor of the high school a sample of what you will find are interactive science stations presented by Harding, robotic and 3-D art demonstrations by West Shore Career-Tech’s Project Lead the Way engineering program and an instrument petting zoo.

On the second floor you will also find cookie decorating by our Family & Consumer Science students and Civil War presentations created by our AP U.S. History students.
