There are many ways to excel at Lowell High School and many opportunities to demonstrate your strengths: one of them happens to be athletics. During the 2006 school year, 11 LHS seniors received athletic scholarships totaling $520,000. That’s a lot of money going to students who excel at wrestling, football, girls softball, cross country, basketball, hockey, girls basketball, track, and crew (three students got crew scholarships). Not only are our athletes succeeding, but the number of students participating in sports has also grown. Consider this: In ’06, there were 132 senior athletes (94.7% of whom went on to some post secondary education experience) and by ’07, the number of senior athletes had risen to 176 students—a 33% increase.
