[edit] History
From what once was a unified Lakota High School came both Lakota East High School and Lakota West. The two physically identical schools were built in 1997 when severe over-crowding forced the district to expand. The two high schools have an interdistrict rivalry which shows off each year at the East/West football game. This game usually draws record crowds, is usually televised, and held at Lakota East High School every other year.
[edit] Sports and traditions
The Thunderhawk is the mascot of Lakota East. It was derived from the original mascot, the Lakota Thunderbirds, which became the Lakota East Thunderhawks and the Lakota West Firebirds. The school colors are black and white and silver. The school is classified a Division 1 school in all sports under OHSAA standards and is a member of the Greater Miami Conference. The Thunderhawks won their first team state title when the Lakota East Baseball Team won in 2011 under head coach Ray Hamilton.
[edit] Extracurricular activities
The school's student-run, nationally accredited and award winning news magazine, Spark, runs 7 issues each school year and a college football bowl guide.
The school's radio station, WLHS 89.9 FM, is operated by students from both Lakota East and Lakota West but is actually housed at Lakota East.
Lakota East's Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[3] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[4]
Lakota East is also home to the Marching Thunderhawks, under the direction of William Thomas and Robert Tanis. The Lakota East Marching Thunderhawks have received all superior(I) ratings in every OMEA adjudicated event they have attended.
The school is also the home of the FIRST robotics team 1038, which in 2001 won the Newton Divisional of the International Championships.
