LHS students have an opportunity to graduate with an Associate degree while in high school. LHS partners with IU, ISU, VU, and Ivy Tech to offer over 90 dual credit opportunities. These courses are offered at a significantly reduced price, and some are completely free. The majority of courses will transfer to four year universities and save LHS graduates thousands in tuition expenses.

LHS launched southern Indiana’s first high school drone course in the fall of 2020. Students are able to finish the year as FAA-certified commercial drone pilots ready to enter the workforce. Future pilots may go straight into the industry right out of class, potentially taking aerial surveys of land, aiding farmers, assisting police, other rescue services, and possibly even landing jobs with e-commerce giants like Amazon or eBay. 

LHS was the first public high school to be classified as a STEM Certified School by the Indiana Department of Education in 2019.  LHS prioritizes the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines and exemplify a highly non-traditional approach to education by employing a great deal of inquiry, project-based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student-centered classrooms, and out-of-school STEM activities.
