Lathrop High School will not be sending a bus to the Excelsior Springs Career Center on Friday, 9/12 due to the Homecoming Festivities. If you want to attend the career center you need to get written permission from a parent/guardian to drive yourself to the career center and submit the note to the LHS office. Students that are not attending the career center are expected to check into the high school office at 7:50 for your attendance, then we will dismiss everyone to start the homecoming festivities. If you have any questions you can call the LHS office at 816-710-6116.

Juniors/Junior Parents –

Reminder, the junior class works the concession stand each year during the football season to raise money for Prom. This is our only fundraiser to cover the cost of the event, and juniors earn points towards their Prom ticket.

There are 2 shifts with 10 people per shift. Those students who are involved in band, cheer, varsity football, or work on Friday nights may have a family member or friend (9th grade or above) work to fulfill their obligation.

Currently, we have NO volunteers for the Homecoming game next week. PLEASE check your schedules and sign up using this link -

We cannot do this without your help.

Thank you,
Susan Rupert
Junior Class Sponsor

The Administrative Assistant applications close at 3:00 pm today. Thank you!

Sorry for all the school picture messages, but I wanted to make sure the senior parents understand this will be the picture that is in the yearbook, so if you want your senior to look nice for the yearbook this is your notice. Also, students we will not allow hats in the pictures.

Parents, if you have a senior that is a part time student I wanted to let you know that SCH Photo will be here tomorrow from 7:30 until 10:40 to take student pictures. If your child normally would not be here during these hours they will need to show up for pictures if they want to be in the yearbook this year. Thank you, Mr. Bowers

Tomorrow is picture day for the students. All students photographed will be able to see their images online 24-48 hours after picture day! Each student will receive a personalized QR code that can be scanned to view their images. If that QR does not make it home, not to worry, families will get an emailed link! All orders are now ship to home!

I wanted to let the Career Center students know if they would like to attend the school assembly and Homecoming class meetings on Tuesday morning to make sure they are here by 7:50. Otherwise we will see you for Advisory at 10:41. Have a great weekend. Mr. Bowers

LHS open house tonight from 6-7. Students will be able to pick up a paper copy of their schedules and walk around the building and meet their teachers. Students remember you won't be able to have your phones out when school starts so make sure you have a hard copy of your schedule.

The application window for the LHS Administrative Assistant position will close on 8/14/2025 at 10:00 AM. Thank you!

LHS students and parents,

Due to Missouri Senate Bill 68 all public schools are changing their personal communication device (cell phones, ear buds, smart watches, etc...) policies so they are in compliance with the new law.
