At Lakeshore, we don’t settle for good — we keep striving for great. Congratulations to our amazing students, staff, and community for making this possible!
Congratulations to the Lakeshore Lancer Marching Band!
This past Saturday (September 27) at the MCBA season premiere hosted by Jenison High School, the Lancers earned First Place.
In addition, they received caption awards for Outstanding Music and Outstanding General Effect.
This year’s halftime show, The Haunting Hour, tells the story of ghosts haunting an old Victorian Manor — the perfect production for the fall season.
The band’s next performance will be at the Lakeshore Invitational on October 4 at Al Stockman Stadium. The event begins at 4:45 p.m. and Lakeshore will perform at 8:30 p.m.
Go Band!

Last week the Environmental Science classes spent two days exploring Grand Mere State Park, collecting data from both North Lake and Lake Michigan!
Back in the classroom, students will dive deeper by analyzing chemical test results and examining water samples under the microscope. Their goal? To determine the trophic states of each lake and better understand the health of these important ecosystems.
Hands-on science in action!

Patriot Day
On this day, we remember the lives lost and honor the courage of first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary bravery on September 11, 2001. We also reflect on the resilience of our nation and the spirit of unity that carried us forward.
At Lakeshore Public Schools, we stand together in gratitude and remain committed to teaching our students the importance of unity, compassion, service, and resilience — values that emerged so strongly in the days that followed.
Today, we pause. We remember. We honor. May we carry forward the spirit of kindness and community.
Environmental Science Field Trip
On Monday, our LHS Environmental Science students took a hands-on learning trip to Hickory Creek! They collected organisms to study the water quality and gathered data to calculate the creek’s discharge, which they’ll compare with other local rivers.
Here are a few snapshots from their day of science in action
