FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |

March 18, 2022
Greetings “Tiger” Students and Families,
Spring is officially almost here, Sunday March 20th, and I know how much warmer weather and sunny days can help with uplifting our energy and mindsets as we have persevered through so much these past few months and weeks. However, we will continue to strive to get stronger as a LC school and community, continue or commitment to excellence for every student and staff member, and continue to work towards making the high school experience enjoyable for every student and staff. These goals help support the aspirations of every student and their dreams and goals beyond high school and support every staff member whose aspirations are to make a positive impact on every student. “It takes more to be a Tiger and every Tiger has access to more.” This is part of our “why” for our work with your student, and we appreciate and are thankful for every opportunity to build relationships with each student.
Some excellent work and performances from our students/staff recently include:
· Our Spring Band Concert performed on Wednesday, Orchestra on Thursday (with Choir and Jazz next week).
· Our Boy’s Soccer Team is 3-0.
· Our Drama students performed the play “Our Town.”
· Mid Quarter Grades for 3rd quarter were made available to all students/parents on PowerSchool.
· Teachers and staff are preparing our AP students for upcoming exams.
· We have 6 Spokane Scholars who will be honored at the county wide banquet in April.
Just a few highlights of the great accomplishments of our students and staff, and I plan to continue sharing more in future newsletters.
I have truly enjoyed seeing the actual faces of my students and staff since the mask mandate has been adjusted. It is staff and student choice if they want to wear a mask or not, and we have seemed to adjust very well. Everyone is doing such as amazing job of being respectful and kind to each other regardless of an individual’s choice. True testament of “Tigers respecting other Tigers.” Our students and staff continue to share with my administrative team when they “see something, say something,” which helps us assure that our school is a safe environment for all. We take all information very seriously, investigate the information, and implement actions. We got you “Tigers.”
Enjoy your weekend and the first official day of spring. If you have any questions, please email me at ivanc@spokaneschools.org or call me at (509)354-6890.
Happy Spring,
Mr. Ivan Corley
Principal

Good News: Senior Brasin Benjamin was surprised in his sixth period English class with the March 2022 SPS Exceptional Excellence Award for Students. The award was presented by Superintendent Adam Swinyard and Principal Ivan Corley. Brasin also received a gift certificate to Wishing Tree Books.
“Brasin left the Marshall Islands, lived in Hawaii, and then came to Spokane, without his parents, for educational opportunities here that would support his family's future,” wrote his nominator. He also came to support his sister as she graduated from Lewis and Clark last year.
“Brasin has persevered through these daunting challenges despite his young age, and he continues to work hard with the hope reuniting his family here in Spokane. He shoulders this dream and the required academic pursuits with a smile like the sunrise and nearly unshakeable fortitude.” Congratulations, Brasin! We are inspired by students like you!

LC Tiger Fund Scholarship | |
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 April 30, 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.
