History

Along with Lakota West High School, Lakota East was part of a unified Lakota High School. The two physically identical schools were built in 1997 when severe over-crowding forced the district to expand. In 2009, the old Lakota Freshman School was split, and a brand new building was made for Lakota East freshman. The old Lakota Freshman School is now current the Lakota West Freshman School.

Several additions and renovations were made to Lakota East High School by Turner Construction during the 2007-2008 school year. [4] [5]

Athletics

Lakota East's mascot is the Thunderhawk. The school colors are black, white and silver. [6] The school is classified as a Division I school in all sports under OHSAA standards and is a member of the Greater Miami Conference.

Notable alumni

Lakota East is believed to have awarded the first honorary high school diplomas in Ohio, to a group of 20 World War II veterans in May 2001. [7] They also have held naturalization ceremonies for the public and students in 2023 and 2024.
