Lost River High School's Extended Application program empowers students to develop their Education Plan and Profile (EPP) while exploring various career fields via the Oregon Career Information System (OCIS). Students in grades 9-12 must complete career-related learning experiences (CRLE) and an Extended Application Project, choosing from work-based, service learning, or school-based projects. A portfolio showcasing their journey, including project proposals, logs, and reflections, is required for graduation. Eligible students may also access the GEAR UP scholarship for college funding.
