Lakeview High School in Cortland, Ohio, is the only high school in the Lakeview School District. Prior to 2004, Lakeview High School taught grades eight through 12; in 2004, the 8th grade was moved to Lakeview Middle School. Since 2009, due to financial issues and the closing of Cortland Elementary School, Lakeview High School again accommodates grades eight to 12. A new gym, cafeteria, and band room were added in 1971, and Raidel Auditorium was constructed in 1996.

Lakeview also offers computers, business, accounting, art, band, and choir as electives. AP (Advanced Placement Program) classes are taught in Calculus and English, with Honors classes Physics, Spanish IV, and French IV.
[edit] Levy
The Lakeview School District is infamous for being unable to pass levies.[citation needed] Unfortunately for students, a new tax levy has not been passed in more than ten years. As a result, the district is nearing debt and the school has undergone many program cuts, including the removal of busing to the state minimum and pay-to-participate sports. The 4th grade students of Lakeview are being taught in trailers because of the closure of Cortland Elementary.

[edit] Music
Lakeview High School provides a band program,directed by Mr. Nathan Sensabaugh, a choral program, directed by Mrs. Jane Page, a music theory class for its students, taught by Page, and a music appreciation class, taught by Sensabaugh.
[edit] Band
There are several bands, directed by Nathan Sensabaugh, in which students can perform, including marching band, concert band, symphonic band, jazz band, pep band, and a "graduation band" that plays at commencement.
The marching band plays for all football games and participates in the Cortland Street Fair Parade every June (except 2007 and 2008 due to conflicts). During the first week of August, the Lakeview band goes to band camp at Grove City College in order to prepare for the band's shows. For the past 36 years, the symphonic band has received a "1" ("superior") rating at OMEA (Ohio Music Education Association) district band contest, and has received both a "1" ("superior") or a "2" ("excellent") rating at OMEA state contest, both held during the spring semester. The band also attends out-of-state festivals and competitions almost every spring.
[edit] Choir
There are several choirs, directed by Jane Page, which students can perform in including Concert Choir, Advanced Women's Choir, and Madrigals (Chamber Singers). Page has been at Lakeview since 1976 and has built an extremely successful choral program. The Madrigal group, also known as the Chamber Singers in the spring semester, has performed a Madrigal Feaste during the Christmas season since 1984 in the school's cafeteria. The event is extremely popular and tickets sell out very early.
In the past few years, the Chamber Singers have been attending OMEA district and state contest and have received straight "1"s ("superior") every year. During the 2005-2006 school year, the group switched from performing Class A music to Class AA music (the hardest classification of music). Only a few choirs in the state perform this level of repertoire.[citation needed]
Page has also taught students that have gone to study music at prestigious colleges including Westminster Choir College and others.
She has also taught students that have continued on to become part of outstanding college choirs including but not limited to Ohio University's "The Singing Men of Ohio" and The Ohio State University's "Chorale".
In recognition of her work, Jane Page was awarded "Outstanding Music Educator of the Year" by OMEA and was given a plaque during the 2005 convention in Cincinnati.
