Changes for the 2007-2008 school year at L'Anse Creuse High School and High School North
The school district has made the decision to close both high school campuses beginning in the 2007-2008 school year. The campuses are closed not only for lunch but for the entire school day. This decision was met with much criticism from students and parents,though the district decided to do so anyway.
Transportation
The L'Anse Creuse Transportation system serves the district, with its homebase adjacent to the John Armstrong Performing Arts Center.
First Robotics
L'Anse Creuse has one FIRST Robotics team (the GEARS), based out of the Pankow Center. The team utilizes resources from such Pankow classes as Introduction to Engineering, Precision Machining, Intro to C.A.D. drafting, Programming, Digital Electronics, Web Design and Auto Technology 1. Pancow is designed to encourage students to think outside of the box and push the students further in their education. It challenges students, but prepares them for college.
Seven-Hour Day
Both L'Anse Creuse High School and L'Anse Creuse High School North will be on a seven-hour day schedule beginning the 2010-2011 school year. This seven-hour day will shorten each class period, but allow students to take one additional class each year.
