Connect to your future!

The mission of LCHS, in partnership with home and community, is to prepare students to think, to communicate, to respect, and to understand the power of knowledge through excellent teaching, quality work, and positive guidance, assisting student to achieve more than a diploma.

Program Overview

The Classical & Career Magnet, housed at Lakeview Centennial High School, is designed to prepare motivated students for entering college.

Through advanced fine arts courses or career exploration, students have the opportunity to leave high school with the educational foundation and critical thinking skills to pursue future goals.

Students have the opportunity to be a part of our unique Career Magnets including TV Production and Future Teacher Internship. Our Classical Magnets include advanced art, band, choir, dance, gymnastics, piano, and theater.  Each program offers a specialized curriculum with qualified instructors providing students with a variety of experiences, beginning their freshman year.
