Advanced Placement (AP) Courses at Lancaster High School
AP courses give LHS students a chance to earn college credits while still in high school. These rigorous courses challenge the students with in-depth curriculum, as well as student-led discussions and coursework that push LHS juniors and seniors to go beyond what they thought they could accomplish.
The video below is part of a series highlighting the AP program at Lancaster High School: just one of the programs making LCS The Place to Be for Learning!

Thomas Ewing Girls Basketball Team Gives Back to Player with Autism
The Thomas Ewing 7th grade girls basketball team showed outstanding sportsmanship at a recent game against Bexley Junior High, agreeing to allow a Bexley team member with autism the chance to score her first basket of the season during their game. The entire gym erupted in applause when she succeeded, and members of both teams beamed with pride. Thomas Ewing team members have also signed the game ball (pictured below), and plan to give it to the Bexley student as a keepsake.
A special thank you to Coach Coakley for teaching these girls that it's not always about whether you win or lose, but how you treat others that matters most!

Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Update
The Lancaster City School District is continuing to work with the Fairfield Department of Health in monitoring cases of Pertussis (whopping cough) within our district. At this time, Lancaster City Schools has 9 confirmed cases and 6 suspected cases of pertussis. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial illness that causes a cough lasting several weeks and spreads through coughing or sneezing. Symptoms of the disease come in two stages. The first stage begins like a cold with a runny nose, sneezing and cough. The cough lasts a week or two and then slowly worsens. The second stage is marked by uncontrollable coughing spells and a whooping noise when the person inhales. If your child is exhibiting any of these symptoms please contact your family medical provider.
Antibiotics can prevent the spread of pertussis and are recommended for those with pertussis. Students who are prescribed antibiotics for suspected pertussis can return to school after the fifth day of treatment. Without antibiotics, a person with pertussis is considered to be contagious for three weeks. It is important that students who are ill stay at home and away from others (especially infants and young children).
Pertussis vaccine is administered in combination with diphtheria and tetanus vaccine (DTaP) in a five-dose series and protects children against whooping cough. Please check with your health care provider to make sure your child's shots are up to date.
We have and continue to encourage good hygiene practices with our students, faculty and staff. All district buildings are following guidelines from the Ohio Department of Health regarding preventing the spread of communicable disease, including proper cleaning of school facilities.
We will continue to work with the Fairfield Department of Health to be proactive in dealing with communicable diseases. If you or your medical provider has further questions, please contact the Fairfield Department of Health at 740-652-2800.
