At LPS Richmond, we prepare every student for success in college, career, and community leadership within a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.

Our students have access to Advanced Placement courses, Career Technical Education, and early college credit opportunities – all guided by a dedicated team of academic counselors.

Hear From the
LPS Richmond Community

"LPS pushes us to go beyond what we believe is our best potential. I have become a deeper thinker and have gone beyond what I thought was my full potential, and that's because staff constantly push us to be great in and out of the classroom. With the support of the school counselors, I learned that hard work pays off and though the route might be difficult, if you keep working, you'll reach your dreams."

"LPS students are able to have 1-on-1 interactions with teachers, which helps us create academic plans specific to our individual needs. These interactions have strengthened my relationships with my teachers, who have empowered me to pursue my goal to become a political leader."

"LPS has helped me so much in reaching my goals and finding myself, especially through the many summer programs and college campus tours offered. When times get challenging, whether it's at home or at school, I know I can count on my advisor to help guide me through any hardship. They offer the best support system, both emotionally and academically. I'm so grateful to be attending a school like LPS that cares so much about my future!"
