Distinguished Level of Achievement–Graduation Plan & LASA Magnet Endorsement

The Magnet Endorsement signifies that students have gone above and beyond the state and district requirements for graduation. All LASA students will default to the multidisciplinary endorsement. All LASA students are expected to work towards receiving the Magnet endorsement. As a result, all LASA students will be following a course plan that is more rigorous than the plan required by the Distinguished Level of Achievement Graduation Plan. Successful completion of the LASA Magnet Endorsement will result in the successful completion of the requirements for the following three endorsements: Multidisciplinary; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math; and Arts and Humanities.
