Scout All-Out Virtual 5K
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.

AP Exam Registration - Deadline EXTENDED to October 16
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.
The deadline for purchasing AP Exams has been extended to October 16. After this date, you will incur a $40 late fee.

This 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. |

A new digital exhibit called Facing School 2020 gives students, teachers and parents from schools across the community a central place to share their experiences, find encouragement, and access their stories about back-to-school 2020 for years to come.
