CONGRATULATIONS & THANK YOUS
Congratulations & Thank Yous: Share your good news with us! We love to feature the incredible things our students are doing inside and outside of school. If you have good news to share, please send it to Theresa Meyer ( theresam@spokaneschools.org ) to be included in the LCNYCU.
Congratulations: At the annual Chase Youth Awards, LC students were honored for their work in the Spokane community. Congratulations to the LC winners:
  • Innovation: Josh Hechtman
  • Judges’ Choice: Abigail Moore
  • Judges’ Choice: Lewis and Clark DECA Trifecta (Morgan Armstrong, Emily Kramer, Brooke Rusch)
Congratulations: After dancing their way through the preliminary rounds at the UW Spring Classic Quiz Bowl tournament, Lewis and Clark KB staved off Lakeside #2’s comeback in the Elite Eight to advance on a 245-175 victory to The Final Four match up against the #1-seeded Lakeside #1. After a strong first half led by a lights-out performance by sophomore Matthew Glaser and junior Joe Trefry, the Tigers found themselves up 195 to 90 at the half. But the Quiz Bowl powerhouse from Seattle proved too much and the no-mascot private school went on a 230-35 run to move on to the Championship Round, defeating LC 320-230. Glaser ranked the number four competitor of the entire tournament, averaging 65 points per round. Congratulations, Tiger Scholastics ( Jacob Ryse , Chloe Wiley , Noah Williams , Ben Louie , Joe Trefry , and Matt Glaser ) and their fantastic showing at the tournament!

LC Tiger Drama Presents: XANADU ( April 25-27 at 7:00pm ) and HAMLET ( May 2-3 at 7:00pm ). General Seating - Adults: $10.00 and Students: $8.00.
Based on the (in)famous 1980 Olivia Newton-John film, XANADU follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California. in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.
 
When his suspiciously widowed mother swiftly marries his uncle, amidst demands for revenge from his murdered father’s ghost, the young prince HAMLET resolves that something is indeed “rotten in the state of Denmark.” Forced by circumstance into a world turned upside down by betrayal, distrust and madness, Hamlet spirals through a torrent of erratic emotion and bizarre behavior in a relentless pursuit of truth. Torn between duty and doubt, he wrestles tenaciously with the profound question “to be or not to be,” until fate exacts its final answer.
 
XANADU and HAMLET are both directed/choreographed by Greg Pschirrer with musical direction by Heidi Santiago and costumes by Lisa Caryl-Vukas and Pauletta Caryl . XANADU student choreographers Paige Galey , Quincy McFaul , and Paige Stoick bring a roller-skating ensemble to life led by Gunnar Rorholm (Sonny) and Amia Delaney (Clio/Kira). HAMLET is stage managed by Alyssa Lizardo with a cast that includes three Hamlets: Eli Svoboda , Rae Baer , and Josie Stenzel with Brendan Burns (Claudius), Genevieve Schmidt (Gertrude), Maya Eastlund (Ophelia), Paul Erban (Larates), Caleb Bopp (Polonius), and Sophia Dompier (Horatio).
Running Start Program Updates: As part of the Running Start application process, we are requiring students and parent/guardian to attend a mandatory orientation. During the orientation, we will cover important information about making the transition to being a college student, balancing participation in both the high school and college environments, and keeping informed of important activities and events at Lewis and Clark. Attendance at one of the orientations, by both parent/guardian and student, will be required in order to have the Fall Quarter Enrollment Verification Form (EVF) signed off by the LC counselor. Join us on Thursday, April 18 6:00-7:30pm in the LC Theater. The LC orientation is well in advance of the deadline for submitting EVF’s to the colleges, so please mark your calendar so that the Fall Quarter EVF’s are not delayed. Please feel free to contact Brian Spraggins ( Brians@spokaneschools.org ) or Stacey Donahue ( staceyd@spokaneschools.org ) if you have any questions about the LC Running Start orientation.

COLLEGE & CAREER
SchooLinks: Seniors, when you are applying to colleges, be sure to log into our college application tracking system called SchooLinks. Students can access their account at www.lctigers.com - look for the link on the right.
Scholarship: The LC Tiger Fund Scholarship was started by the Class of 1966 in 2006 in order to recognize an LC senior who has overcome personal and/or life difficulties and has made a commitment to furthering his/her education after graduation from Lewis & Clark High School. We know that there are many students who have potential for college success but often get over looked for scholarship assistance because their G.P.A. did not exceed a 3.5 minimum required for scholarship consideration. We also know that character and desire to improve play a large part in future success in school and life. Click here to learn more and download the application. Deadline to apply is April 30.
SAT Saturday Testing Information: The SAT will be hosted on Saturdays at LC this year. Students register for exams directly on the SAT website, www.sat.collegeboard.org. Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year in high school. At least half of all students take the SAT twice - in the spring of their junior year and in the fall of their senior year. Most students also improve their score the second time around.
  • May 4 (deadline to register, April 5)
  • June 1 (deadline to register, May 3)

The SAT test costs $64.50 per test with the essay (47.50 without the essay). Late registration incurs an additional $29 fee. If you cannot afford to pay the fee, you can see your counselor to apply for a fee waiver before you register online (click here for fee waiver information: http://sat.collegeboard.org/register/sat-fee-waivers).
Free Online SAT Practice: All 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students who took the PSAT in October can take the next step on their SAT practice journey by linking their College Board and Khan Academy accounts , which unlocks a free SAT study plan. Linking their accounts will send their PSAT scores to Khan Academy, giving them access to a personalized experience on Official SAT Practice . Research shows that studying on Official SAT Practice for 20 hours is associated with an average score gain of 115 points from the PSAT/NMSQT to the SAT. That's nearly double the average score gain of students who don't use Khan Academy.
ACT Testing: ACT college admissions test will be offered on Saturdays at FERRIS or EAST VALLEY High School. For information on test registration, visit: www.act.org. Be to Ferris by 7:45am, bring a printed copy of your test ticket, photo ID, pencils, and calculator. The test will end at 12:15pm (or 1:00pm if you are taking the ACT Plus Writing). The ACT costs $62.50 with the writing test ($46 without). The ACT will be offered: April 13 and June 8.
