FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |

May 6, 2022
Principal Highlights,
Greetings “Tiger’ Students and Families, (Happy Teacher Appreciation Week)
Thank you, LC teachers, for your consistent commitment to assuring the success for every student. You are a major reason why our school is one of the best high schools in the nation. It has been such a pleasure to work with each of you and observe the quality of instruction you provide, the care you provide, and the inspiration you provide each day!
Our students continue to work hard and display their amazing work ethic and academic endeavors in their classes, while taking Advanced Placement Exam, and the Smarter Balanced State Assessment. It has been more than two years since our students were able to participate in these useful and informative opportunities, and they have embraced this aspect of the academic journey very well. It has not been easy for many, but I have been impressed and pleased with the way our students and staff have approached this work and feel confident that our results will be positive. These are measures that help indicate what students have learned, but not the total indicators of a student’s future success. We remind our students to give their best and that is all we ask, and things will work out for them.
We are excited to have a Prom for our students this Saturday. Our students are looking forward to this opportunity, and the enjoyment and memories they will be able to create with each other. They deserve this as they have endured so much. I am looking forward to seeing our kids being able to be kids!
A few reminders:
- Please remember to lock your car doors when you park at school, and avoid leaving any type of bags, purses, valuables, clothes, or any items that a car prowler may see as valuable.
- We have had one lunch during our “testing window” and plan to have one lunch during “May Week.” Campus is closed! Students must remain on campus. Please take advantage of the nutritious lunches that are provided by our awesome nutritious services staff!
- Check with your student to see if they have any fines or fees and work to take care of these before the end of the school year. You can check for fees/fines in your student's account here.
- School safety and security is our top priority, and we take this very seriously. When issues are reported or occur, we respond immediately and assure that the issue is addressed.
Thanks for your continued partnership and support, and I welcome any comments or feedback from you to help support success for all students and staff at LC. I can be reached by email at ivanc@spokaneschools.org or (509) 354-6890.
Ivan Corley

Tiger Fund Scholarship - DEADLINE EXTENDED! | |
The Lewis & Clark 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.
Two scholarships will be awarded in 2022; one for $2500 and one for $2000. Download the app here.
Applicant Qualifications:
- Applicants must be a LC Senior graduating in 2022.
- Must have a verifiable financial need that would make it difficult to pursue a college or university education without monetary assistance.
- Must have had a personal life challenge/difficulty that they have overcome.
- Must have a cumulative grade point average between 2.5 and 3.49.
Procedures:
- Applicants must meet all of the above qualifications.
- Must complete the LC Tiger Fund Scholarship application form.
- Must attach a copy of their official transcript with the application.
- Must attach a personal essay – see application for details.
- Must attach two letters of recommendation - see application for details.
- Must mail all documents to the Selection Committee Chairperson no later than May 7, 2022 - see application for mailing address.
Notification: Upon selection, the recipients of the 2022 LC tiger Fund Scholarships will be notified of his/her award via a personal letter and will be recognized at the Move-Up Con in June if that event will be held this year. The scholarship funds will be released to the student’s college or university upon verification of enrollment in the Fall 2022 college term.

Student and Parent/Visitor Parking | |
Parent/Visitor Parking: LC does not have designated visitor parking, so you can park at any of the metered spots across the street. For after-hours events, you can park for free in any of the parking lots under the freeway. The doors to the Commons building are handicap accessible.
Student Drop-off/Pick-Up: Before and after school, 4th Avenue in front of LC is a busy place with school buses and parents competing for limited space. In order to help alleviate congestion, we recommend that parents drop off and pick up students either on 5th Avenue, 3rd Avenue or a block east or west of LC on 4th Avenue. It is important to not park (even for a drop off) in the bus zones.
Student Parking: LC students can park in the two freeway lots (in front of the Field House and in front of the church to the east). Be sure to display your student parking permit to avoid getting a ticket in the student lots. Student parking permits can be purchased in the Business Office for $5. The lot directly in front of the main building and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored for cars without staff permits.
