[edit] About the district

The Licking Heights School system is the pride and major focus of the community serving about 3000 students in the district's five buildings: Licking Heights High School, LH Central (middle school), LH North(elementary), LH South (elementary), and LH West(elementary).The past several years, the district has made an extensive effort to upgrade its textbooks, classes, and inservice opportunities for faculty. All classrooms have been connected to the internet and the district is part of a group of school districts developing distance learning for its students. The district services the western side of the city of Pataskala , Northern Reynoldsburg as well as Etna, Jersey, Lima, and Jefferson townships.

[edit] Tax levy

In May of 2007, voters approved an emergency 8.9 mill tax levy, preventing the elimination of extracurricular activities and the loss of nineteen staff members. Even with the levy, the district faces $1.4 million in cuts.^[1] A similar 8.9 mill emergency tax levy was rejected by voters in November of 2006.

[edit] Football

Licking Heights has a lot of pride for its football team. Daren Waters(Head Coach) decided to change his approach for the Licking Heights football program. They act as a family instead of a team. Obviously the new approach is working since the Licking Height Hornets had their first winning season in a long time. The Hornets ended their 2007 season though short of a goal they wanted to reach. The only question is will the Hornet's keep up their new reputation.
