Lebanon Senior High School (LHS) houses grades nine through twelve for the Lebanon School District, and is located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The current building, which also serves as district headquarters, opened to students for the 1969–70 school year. The school, with a unique architecture featuring three circular buildings, underwent extensive renovations completed in early 2013. The school's mascot is the cedar tree. In 2013, the cedar tree mascot, Rooty, was featured in a mini-series on Hulu entitled Behind the Mask. In 2024, the mascot was redesigned and given a new name, Shredder.[citation needed]

## Campus

[edit]

Each of the school's three buildings includes a principal occupant (Library, Gymnasium, or Auditorium) which is used to identify the specific building. The "Library" building contains most of the school's classrooms and the library itself features a glass dome ceiling. In addition to the gym, the "Gymnasium" building includes the school's cafeteria. The "Auditorium" building includes the auditorium and the science and music rooms. Since the renovations, the offices of the high school are located in the West in-fill and the district offices are found in the North in-fill. The renovations also resulted in the enclosure of the school's courtyard into a large atrium.

## Programs

[edit]

Lebanon High School is well known for its music programs. It has many performing groups including: Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, Show Choir, Jazz Choir, Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, and Marching Band.
