Lakota East High School is a high school in the Lakota School District which comprises both West Chester Township and Liberty Township in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. The school serves students from the ninth through twelfth grades, however there is a separate building for ninth grade students.

History

Along with Lakota West High School, Lakota East was part of a unified Lakota High School. The two physically identical schools were built in 1997 when severe over-crowding forced the district to expand. The two high schools have an inter-district rivalry in sports, particularly in football. The annual East/West football game usually draws large crowds, is usually televised, and is alternately hosted by each school except in 2017 when the game was held at Lakota West High School for two consecutive years. In 2009, the Lakota freshman building was split and a brand new building was made for Lakota East freshman. The Lakota freshman building became Lakota West freshman building.

Athletics

Lakota East's mascot is the Thunderhawk. The school colors are black and white and silver.[2] The school is classified as a Division I school in all sports under OHSAA standards and is a member of the Greater Miami Conference. The Lakota East baseball team won the school's first state title in 2011.[5]

Extracurricular activities

The school's student-run, nationally accredited and award-winning news magazine is called Spark.[4]

Lakota East's Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[6] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[7]
