Parent Volunteers Needed for Senior Signing Day:
Signing Celebrations across the nation recognize students who have achieved the life-changing milestone of committing to post-secondary options. Signing Celebration events help motivate students to take charge of their future by completing their education beyond high school.
National College Signing Days have traditionally been focused on the college draft of promising athletes. Communities gather to watch, commentators speculate where athletes will play and fans prepare to cheer their new team members. NOW, across the nation, and at LCHS, we want to celebrate all seniors as they officially enlist in a military branch or commit to a college or university to obtain a post-secondary degree or certificate.
Figuring out educational plans beyond high school is exciting and it is a major step towards a student's future and we believe that it should be celebrated!
On
May 1, The National College Admission Confirmation Deadline, LCHS will be honoring seniors during their social studies class period with post-secondary celebrations and exit interviews.

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).

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.
