Lake Orion High School is a public secondary institution located in Orion Township, Michigan, United States. It is a part of Lake Orion Community Schools.
The large campus (377,757 square feet) features a centralized commons area, which serves as a distribution center to the wings. The commons area features the cafeteria and student store, as well as the main office. Each wing contains classrooms, computer labs, student lockers, and faculty offices. The school building is the third largest in the state of Michigan, behind Saline High School in Pittsfield Township, and Anchor Bay High School in New Baltimore.
The campus also features a gymnasium, natatorium, and auditorium, all of which are suitable for state-level competitions or productions. The Information Resource Center is a library with computers, tech-ed labs, and studio classrooms.
The immediate area around the school has been developed into residential neighborhoods, but is still dominated by Bald Mountain Recreation Area to the north, east, and southeast.
As of the 2013-2014 school year, Lake Orion High School has the 10th largest enrollment in the state of Michigan, and the second largest in Oakland County after Clarkston High School (when Clarkston off-campus freshmen are included). Since opening at the current location in 1997, LOHS has added close to 1,000 students to its enrollment.
The first building to house Lake Orion students was built in 1893 and served grades K-12. It was demolished in the 1930s by a Works Progress Administration project after a new school building was in place.
