LFHS students enrolled in AP classes are prepared and encouraged to take the College Board Advanced Placement Exams administered in May. It is important to note that with qualifying AP Exam scores, students can earn college credit, advanced placement, or both at the majority of colleges and universities they attend after high school graduation. The policy regarding issuance of college credit is determined ONLY by the college or university a student attends and will vary among institutions. AP scores are valid even if a student transfers colleges.

Questions? Contact LFHS AP Coordinator, Elizabeth Del Fava, edelfava@lfschools.net, 847-582-7761.

We are excited to announce our 1st Annual Scout All-Out 5K. Due to gathering restrictions, our inaugural race will be a virtual 5K. Our race will take place October 10 - October 12.

Rallying around Scout pride and school spirit, we are starting a new school tradition to celebrate our students and our school community. The focus of this event is UNITY. Wherever you are, we want our students, staff, family members, alumni, community members, and friends to join in on the fun.

THE SCOUT ALL-OUT 5K IS A FUNDRAISER. All proceeds will go directly into our student class accounts to continue to create fun and enriching learning experiences for our students at Lake Forest High School. We need your help, as none of this will be possible without your participation and involvement.

Special thanks to the Lake Forest High School APT for serving as our sole sponsor this year.

Registration Closes Monday, October 12th at 12:00pm - REGISTER TODAY

The parking lottery deadline has been extended until Wednesday, September 23 at 3 p.m. If you registered by September 15, you have secured a spot in the lottery.

Use this link to register. You will have until Wednesday, September 23 to register for the second round of the lottery.

You will be assigned parking based on the days you are expected to be on campus, as outlined in the eHybrid Schedule. As a result of this shift, instead of charging a flat fee, parking spots will cost a daily rate of $8.25. The daily parking rate was figured based on the cost of yearly parking divided by the number of days in a school year.

Student parking days for in-person instruction will be recorded by the District and students will be invoiced at the end of first semester for the total number of days the student was assigned to attend in-person learning, not the number of days used. The senior parking lottery is open for all current LFHS seniors to register. By completing the registration link on RevTrak, seniors are entering the lottery to be selected for one parking spot for two days of parking (either M/T or Th/F). All applications submitted before the deadline will be included in the lottery.

Elephant's Graveyard is the true tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus and a tiny town in Tennessee, which resulted in the only known lynching of an elephant. Set in September of 1916, the play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge.

The Frosh-Soph play will be Twisted Tales of Poe: A Radio Show.
