Student & 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: Buses pick up students all around the perimeter of the school. Please do not park in these locations before school/after school. We recommend arriving for pick up after the buses have left at 2:40pm.

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 lots under the freeway directly in front of the main building and the Commons and the Field House parking garage are ONLY for LC staff and are monitored and ticketed for cars without staff permits.

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.

AP/College Board Accounts

If you are enrolled in an Advanced Placement (AP) class, you will need to create or access your existing College Board account (this is only for students that have a class with "AP" in the course title). Your account will give you access to AP Classroom resources and access for ordering your AP exams (we will order exams later in September). This account is not connected to your school accounts, so you will need to save the login and password (LC teachers do not have access to your login info, so if you forgot your login info, you will need to recover it on the AP website). Click here to go to the College Board website to either make sure you can access your account from last year or to create a new one if you are taking your first AP class.

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.
