To make this possible we are looking for donations, so no student goes without a special outfit for Homecoming. We are accepting dresses, dress shirts, dress pants, shoes and heels. Donations can be placed at the main entrance of the building. The LC Boutique will be open for students at 7:30am and after school till 3:30pm starting Monday, September 25 in room C119.

Bite 2 Go

Hey Tigs! Bite2Go is an anonymous program our school offers to students who need a little extra food over the weekend. Our 2023-2024 Bite2Go program has started back up again and here are two ways you can sign up. 

Scan the QR code on posters in the hallways or click here. 

Make sure to include the room number and teacher of where you would like the food dropped off when filling out the form! Bags will be delivered to your chosen location on Thursdays!  

AP Exam Ordering Process

We are changing the ordering process for AP Exams this year. In prior years, we combined the ordering process on the AP site with the payment process in the Business Office. This year, we will first focus on getting students registered and determining which exams they want to take.

Once that process is completed, we'll generate an invoice for each student that will be emailed to both students and parents. You can then pay in the Business Office or online (with details coming soon). Each AP Exam is $98 (AP Seminar exam is $146). For students who qualify for free/reduced lunch, we will have paperwork for the state subsidy to pay for exams.

The Business Office will work out payment plans if you cannot pay the entire balance when the invoice is generated.

Any exam that is ordered but canceled (or unused in May) after the deadline will have a $40 non-refundable fee (this is a mandatory College Board fee), so we will only be able to refund $58 of the $98 fee.

Stay tuned for more info. Email Theresa Meyer if you have any questions.

Isaac's Bookshelf Books & Blood Drive

You are invited to the 3rd Annual “Isaac’s Books and Blood Drive” at Auntie’s Bookstore on October 21. Sign up and come donate blood on location at Auntie’s!

Gray Fire LC DECA Fundraiser

Dear families of Lewis and Clark High School, 

As you may have heard, the Grey and Oregon fires have recently destroyed parts of our community. Almost 400 homes burned. The Gray fire is known to have impacted students attending our own school.  

As a result of this unfortunate event, Lewis and Clark DECA has decided to host a fundraiser to help those impacted by the fires. We’ve already had two successful collections, one last Friday the 18th, and one today, the 22nd. We’d really like to bring it home for the last collection on the 29th.  

Donations are to be collected in each third-period class and will be matched by No-Li for Red Cross, a local initiative hosted by the likes of No-Li, KREM2, Bison Printing, Chef Chad White, and David’s Pizza, to raise money for the Red Cross. No-Li will match donations dollar for dollar for up to $25,000.  

In addition to a chance to help your community, we are also offering awards for the highest-donating third-period classes. Winning teams will have a choice between pizza, donuts, and lotuses from the Tiger Den. 

Donations: To donate, bring in any amount of cash or checks addressed to the Lewis and Clark Business Office to your third-period class. Your teacher should have an envelope to collect the donations, which we will collect on Friday.  

Thank you for helping your community, Tigs!

Sincerely, 

The DECA Officers: Marton Mezei, Victoria Gatewood, Stella Pham, Ally Page, Jenna Manske, Makenna Marshall, Hannah McLin

Advisors: Chantal Czarapata, Matthew Filippini

Learn About HBCUs

Real Talk is a virtual event series from the College Board/BigFuture for Black students and their parents. They will host a series of events starting with two nights to help students decide whether an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) or PWI (Predominantly White Institution) is right for them. These events are the perfect opportunity for students to interact directly with admissions reps and current college students!

Click here to register for these FREE events.

Tuesday, October 3, 5:00pm - HBCUs, PWIs, and You: Join us and connect directly with HBCU and PWI reps from across the country as they share real talk on selecting a college home that aligns with each student’s personality and college and career aspirations.

Tuesday, October 10, 5:00pm - The Real Tea on HBCUs and PWIs: Want to know what college life is really like at HBCUs and PWIs? Students and their families can connect with current Black students who’ll spill the tea! Don't just hear it - experience it through their stories.

Tuesday, November 7, 5:00pm - Being Black in Gaming: In celebration of the inaugural BigFuture Gaming Week, this special Real Talk career event will connect students and their families with Black trailblazers in the gaming industry. Students will learn how they can turn their love of video games into the career of their dreams!

Tuesday, November 14, 5:00pm - Being Black in Professional Sports: This week we’re connecting students and their families with Black professionals in the sports industry to hear how they transformed their passion for sports into a full-time career.

Tuesday, December 5, 5:00pm - How I Won a $40,000 BigFuture Scholarship: BigFuture Scholarship winners and their families talk about how winning has affected their lives. Students learn what they need to do to make sure they have the same chance to be awarded $40,000!

Tuesday, December 12, 5:00pm - Let’s Talk $$$: Filling Out the FAFSA: Our trusted financial aid and scholarship experts will demystify how to fill out the new FAFSA, find scholarships, and minimize debt while students are getting their degree.

BigFuture Scholarships/College Planning

BigFuture is a FREE resource from the College Board. The site can help with scholarship searches (23,000 in their database), FAFSA, college searches, college prep, college apps, and career exploration. Completing tasks on the site also make you eligible for BigFuture scholarships.

AP College Credit Search

If you are taking an AP class and wondering what credit the exam will give you with different colleges, check out the FREE AP College Credit Search tool. Select the AP class and the tool will let you know what score you need to earn (on a 1-5 point scale) for any college you are researching.

PSAT Day for Juniors

On Wednesday, October 25, all Juniors will be taking the PSAT. All other grades will follow a regular Wednesday bell schedule, although some classes on the 3rd floor will take place in rooms different from where they normally are (the affected teachers will inform student about the changes the days before the test). 

Juniors will report to their assigned room by 7:50am. We are encouraging Juniors to get a good night’s sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast the day of, and remember to bring pencils, water, a snack, and a calculator if you have one to bring (we have a limited supply). Room assignments and movements will be clearly posted and communicated to students at school. Juniors will attend Lunch, 5th, and 6th period after the test.  

Running Start Juniors are all pre-registered to take the PSAT, if it works with your college schedule (there is no alternate time/day for this exam). NewTech Juniors will also stay at LC and take the PSAT. 

Why the PSAT/NMSQT Is Important? When you take the PSAT/NMSQT, you open the door to more benefits than you might think:



It connects students to more than $300 million in scholarships, including the National Merit Scholarship Program.

It's excellent practice for the SAT. Both tests measure the same knowledge and skills and ask the same types of questions, so PSAT/NMSQT takers will know what to expect on the SAT.

It's the first step to a free, personalized SAT study plan. Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy uses your PSAT/NMSQT score to create a customized SAT study plan with sample questions that focus on areas where they need help.

You will receive detailed feedback on your score to identify areas of strength and growth. 

In Spokane Public Schools, your PSAT score may be used to help recover English 9/10 and Algebra/Geometry credits you may be deficient in earning.
