Lake Lehman Junior Senior High School in Lehman Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania was created by the merger of a Middle Level Educational Building, which provided an education from grades seven to eight, and a High School, which did the same for grades nine to twelve. The two schools were combined in 2003. The school is located in a rural setting.
Most classes consist of 30 or fewer students, with the notable exception of humanities I (honors English and history combined, grade 9), with class sizes varying from 30-40 students. Basic classes are offered for everyone, but the school also offers advanced courses, and Advanced Placement classes for college preparation.
Activities
The school has many students in the National Honor Society and the National Junior Honor Society. Clubs include a community-service-based group, called Key Club, and a Seinfeld Club. Organizations such as Peer Helpers are composed of students who are role-model material and go through training in order to help peers in the school with problems.
Lake-Lehman's wrestling team has won numerous PIAA District 2 championships, 3 PIAA Northeast Regional Championships and a PIAA State Championship. Lake-Lehman has crowned 5 individual PIAA state wrestling champions (as recently as 2007) as well as numerous state medalists. The Girls field hockey team has won numerous PIAA District 2 championships and 2 PIAA State Championships. Lake-Lehman boys volleyball teams have won 22 Wyoming Valley Conference titles and 19 PIAA District 2 championships. Lake-Lehman has 4 state champions in Track and Field.[1]
Lake-Lehman also has one of the most respected marching band programs in the region. They have 10 Atlantic Coast Championships and have been the most impressive program in Lake-Lehman in the last 30 years despite the lack of funding and appreciation from the school board.
Each year a Donkey basketball game is held as a fundraiser for the Senior Class Trip to Washington, D.C. In addition to The Donkey basketball game, the senior class raises money through sales of nutritional food during refreshment break. The senior trip to Washington D.C. is held in the spring. The class visits many monuments and buildings including the Smithsonian, the White House, Mt. Vernon, and the Arlington Cemetery.
