Musical Production: Participation in this yearly event enables our students to develop their singing, acting, and dancing skills, as well as generate an interest in stagecraft, scenery, and costume design. Although it is part of our after school program, we have rehearsals during lunch to enable as many participants as possible. Past productions have included Oklahoma, Mame, Grease, Guys & Dolls, Bye Bye Birdie, and Fame.
Chorus: Our school chorus entertains us at the December Winter Show and in June at our Variety Show.

SATs and PSAT: The Lowell School is a College Board approved site to administer the SATs and PSATs so that the students may take them with their testing accommodations.

Awards Ceremony: Our annual Awards Ceremony, in June, recognizes our students for their achievements in all facets of their performance including academics, sports, art, music, and school service. In addition, everyone has the opportunity to see the annual slideshow highlighting our students and all of the events of the school year.
Breakfast and Lunch Programs: Students may buy breakfast and lunch in our cafeteria. The proceeds from the sales go back to the school and help fund various initiatives. Breakfast items include cereal, bagels, juice, etc. For lunch, there is a monthly menu, which features a “special of the day”. Yogurt, salad, fruit, and sandwiches are also available. Friday is always “Pizza Day” when we order from a local pizzeria. With parental permission, students may go out for lunch.
