Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back to a new school year! We are excited to kick off the year with a focus on leadership and personal development through the Leader In Me program.
The Leader In Me program is based on the principles of Stephen Covey's book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," and helps students develop essential skills such as goal setting, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. By incorporating these habits into our daily routines and curriculum, we aim to empower our students to become leaders in their own lives and communities.
Throughout the school year, students will have the opportunity to participate in various leadership activities, such as leading morning announcements, organizing service projects, and collaborating on group projects. These experiences will not only help students develop important leadership skills, but also foster a sense of responsibility, empathy, and respect for others.
As the principal of this school, I am committed to supporting the implementation of the Leader In Me program and ensuring that all students have the resources and guidance they need to succeed. I encourage parents to get involved in their child's leadership journey by reinforcing the habits at home and participating in school events and workshops.
I am confident that this school year will be a transformative and enriching experience for all of us, and I look forward to witnessing the growth and development of our students as they embrace their roles as leaders. Together, we can create a community of empowered and inspired individuals who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.
Here's to a successful and fulfilling school year ahead! Titan Up Lakeshore!
Sincerely,
April S. Jarrell
Principal

Come and walk by my side
Through the doors of Lakeshore High
Altogether, friends old and new
Lakeshore we will honor you
With hope and gladness singing
"Alma Mater we love!"
We will never forget you
Dear Lakeshore High
About Our School
Lakeshore High School opened its doors in the Fall of 2009 to students in the Freshman and Sophomore grades with Mr. Brennan McCurley as its first principal. The student body population quickly grew, and May of 2012 witnessed the first graduating Senior class. Situated deep in the woods on the Northshore of Louisiana’s Lake Pontchartrain in St. Tammany Parish, Lakeshore High draws nearly one thousand students from the towns of Mandeville and Lacombe. These students, their families, and our faculty and staff proudly wear the Black and Silver of the Titans!
Since its opening, Lakeshore High has had the boast of being rated an A School by the Louisiana Department of Education every year. Our students have the opportunity to take a variety of course offerings with degree pathways ranging from the University Track to the Automotive Services, Emergency Medical Responder, and Prostart career and technical fields among others. Students have the ability to earn college credit before leaving high school through the many Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment classes offered in conjunction with local colleges and universities. Lakeshore High graduates leave high school equipped with an excellent education of knowledge, thinking, and skills necessary for success wherever their next path may lead.
We believe that there is something for everyone here at Lakeshore High where students participate in an assortment of extracurricular activities. Our Titan Athletic teams have won numerous district and state championships and have earned a reputation as one of the top programs in the state. Titan students are regularly named to Louisiana All-State teams for athletics, academics, and artistic talent. Performances by the Titan Band, Chorus, and Dance groups dot the calendar throughout the school year. Honors, service, special interest, and competition clubs and organizations such as National Honor Society, Key Club, FFA, and Youth and Government provide opportunities for every type of student to participate in the school community.
At Lakeshore High, we recognize the importance of community involvement towards the thriving of our students at school and beyond. Multiple parent organizations such as the PTSA and booster clubs give of their time and assets to insure that the school has the resources to provide better opportunities for all to learn and flourish.
Our goal here at Lakeshore is summed up well by the motto which emblazons our school crest: “Building Character, Shaping Lives”. We take that mission seriously and seek to live out those words daily in all we do. Because of that, it is always a great day to be a Titan! Win the Day!
