The campus also features a ]nasium, ], and ]; all of which are suitable for state-level competitions or productions. The Information Resource Center is a re-conceptualized vision of a ], featuring ]s, tech-ed labs, and studio classrooms.


Their motto is "Once a dragon, always a dragon," coined by Jeff Heath.
The immediate area around the school has been developed into residential neighborhoods, but is still dominated by ] to the north, east, and southeast.

As of the 2010-2011 school year, Lake Orion High School has the 8th highest enrollment in the state of Michigan, and the 2nd highest in Oakland County after ] (when Clarkston off-campus freshman are included). Since opening at the current location in 1997, LOHS has added close to 1,000 students to the enrollment.

==History==
The first building to house Lake Orion students was built in 1893 and served grades ]. It was demolished in the 1930s by a ] project as part of the program designed by the ] administration as a way to provide jobs.

In 1927 a new building was constructed that would house K-12 students for the next 30 years. Located within the ], the building is still in use today as the '''Ehman Center''', and is used by various ] enterprises (the property is ]). It also was the home of a ] chapter in the 1990s and early 2000s; the chapter has since moved.

The next building to house LOHS is located near the current school, and is now used as a '''Community Education Resource Center'''. It is commonly referred to as the "CERC Building". Opened in 1957, it housed classes for high school students for 40 years. During the 1980s and 1990s the building became so limited in space that it eventually only served grades 10-12, and also required the use of ]. During that time, the building was known as Lake Orion Senior High School, and was fed by Lake Orion ] (grades 8 and 9).

The current site of LOHS opened in the ] of 1997, with much of the school uncompleted as construction was behind schedule. Students began classes while construction crews completed the main entrance, gym, ], ], parking lot, baseball fields, and ]. As a result, students and staff used secondary entrances and were bused to the former high school for gym classes (and the first pep rally to include all 4 classes in years).

In 2000, LOHS was honored as a ] showcase site by the ].
