Passion to Learn at LFHS Continues This Summer

Thanks to the popularity of our summer school course offerings, we have had many Scouts in our building this summer! As a principal, there is not much to like about empty school hallways and classrooms, so I am grateful to our staff who have taken on the task of providing learning opportunities so that our school can be a year-round place of growth.

Whether students are earning credit in US History or Drivers Education, setting the stage for success in one of our math, science, or world language bridge courses, or pursuing a passion in writing, art, or college admissions, the LFHS experience continues to be an exceptional one this summer.

We are also working hard to put the finishing touches on our Macbook rollout for all LFHS students in the 2023-2024 school year. These devices provide a broader range of opportunity and accessibility, and better prepare our students for the world of postsecondary education and work that they will enter after their time as a Scout.

LFHS Students Connect with Little Scouts

Little Scouts Preschool Director Heather Monzingo has partnered with LFHS teachers Sara Dreiling and Jen Thomas to create opportunities for high school students to write and illustrate their own children’s books, design and sew stuffed animals, and share them with our Little Scouts preschoolers!

Standout Students Recognized at LFHS Honors Night

68 student scholars, athletes, artists, and others were celebrated at the annual 2023 LFHS Honors Night. Four students received full-ride scholarships to their institutions of choice and an additional total of over $73,000 in scholarships were awarded from community groups including the American Legion, the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Lion’s Club, the Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association, the Deer Path Art League, Lake Bluff Women’s Club, Friends of Lake Forest Library, and the Lake Forest Preservation Foundation, among others.

Hats Off to the Class of 2023!

On June 3, 368 seniors moved their tassels to the left of their graduation caps and threw them up in the air, symbolizing the move from high school to the next stages in their lives!

Congratulations to the Class of 2023, destined to make the world a better place thanks to the knowledge and skills fostered by LFHS teachers and staff, examples set by our community, and the unwavering support of their loved ones.

I am so proud of all of our Scouts successes in the 202223 school year. I am in awe of our Class of 2023 for all they accomplished at LFHS in academics, arts, and athletics, school trips, the Business Incubator, and their projects, service, and participation in more clubs and organizations than I have space to mention here. As they begin college and engage in other professional endeavors, it is my hope that our newly-minted graduates hold fast to the essence of their Lake Forest High School experience - the passion to learn, the insight to know oneself, and the courage to make a difference.

Your proud principal,

Dr. Erin Lenart Principal
