Is your student stressed out about the college admissions process? Through the Western Guaranteed Admission Program, eligible seniors from Lakewood High School are directly admitted to Western — no application and no fee required.

To be eligible, students must have a 2.75 GPA or higher and must meet Washington State high school graduation requirements. WWU Guaranteed Admission letters will be sent to eligible high school seniors in December with instructions for next steps.

In high school, it’s common for students to land an after-school or seasonal job. But that first paycheck can be a surprise — and a real-life lesson about taxes.

Lakewood High School offers a Personal Finance class for juniors and seniors to help students connect the math lessons they learned in algebra and geometry to everyday life. 

Congratulations to the Lakewood School Board! The Washington State School Directors Association recognized the Lakewood Board of Directors with the 2025 Board of Distinction last week. This award reflects the board’s commitment to narrowing opportunity gaps and aligning board actions with initiatives to promote student success.
