The Lakeshore Lancer Marching Band is working hard to defend their 2023 & 2024 MCBA Flight IV State Championship titles!

Their 2024 show, C O S M O S, took judges on a journey through space, earning Outstanding Music, Visual, General Effect, and Auxiliary/Color Guard awards along the way.

With an undefeated season and the tenth championship in program history, our Lancers are proof that hard work + talent = LEGENDARY! Go Band!

The First Day is Almost Here!

Tomorrow we officially welcome back our Lakeshore students for another year of learning, growing, and achieving together.

To our students: Get a good night’s sleep, lay out those first-day outfits, and come ready to shine bright.
To our families: Thank you for your continued partnership—we can’t wait to see those first-day smiles.
To our staff: Your dedication and passion inspire us all. Here’s to a year full of possibility.

Let’s make 2025–26 the best year yet, Lakeshore!

Lakeshore staff wrapped up preseason 2025 today with an inspiring day of learning alongside Dr. Luis Cruz and our amazing district leaders!

Our graduates had the opportunity to visit Lakeshore Middle School and their elementary school one last time this afternoon.

Some graduates visiting at Roosevelt Elementary even joined a quick game of locomotor vs. non-locomotor movement in a PE class—what a fun and memorable sendoff!
