Lovell High School provides avenues for every child to be well known by at least one adult advocate in the school system. LHS uses a multi-tiered system to ensure students can overcome obstacles to achieve academic, social/emotional, and behavioral success. All students have access to the principal, counselor, classroom teachers, advocate teacher, and counselor. In addition, the MTSS Teams monitors all students for academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Select students are additionally monitored through BLT and staff meetings, through individual, small-group, and crisis counseling, and by IEP teams, Special Education teachers, para-educators, tutoring teachers, and a  At-Risk coordinator.

The Student Advocacy Program (FLEX) at Lovell High School (LHS) is a short time set aside during designated weeks for our students to positively interact with a small group of their peers and their teacher advocate. Through specific activities and discussions under the guidance of a caring adult advocate, students assess their own talents and inspirations, plan their individual paths, work collaboratively with others, and demonstrate their learning of clear standards in a wide variety of forms.

FLEX fulfills the following purposes:

• Create an environment that fosters realistic, respectful and meaningful relationships between students and adults in small learning communities;
• Advise students about academic decisions and monitor academic achievement;
• Foster communication between home and school and among members of the school community;
• Model the values, morals, and ethical standards necessary for success in high school and to assist our students to become lifelong learners;
• Provide students additional academic support;
• Prepare students for life transitions, including career development;
• Promote an awareness of diversity and tolerance;
• Facilitate student governance and conversations.
