    Juniors - See the link below to a short article with tips about asking for letters of recommendation for college and scholarship applications. Whether you are thinking you'll attend a 4-year university, a 2-year college for a transfer degree, or a technical school (3 months to 2-year programs), you'll need letters of recommendation. 

     
    I'm thinking of you all, and proud to be able to be a part of this important journey.
     
     
    TAKE THE SAT - Washington State Public Universities are no longer requiring the SAT as a part of their admission process. Private colleges and schools outside of Washington State may continue to require these pre-college tests. The SAT will be offered on our campus in September 2022.  We offer both the SAT and ACT throughout the year at other locations. If you would like to register for either the SAT or ACT to be taken at a location other than LCHS, register through the testing website:  collegeboard.org (for SAT) or ACT.org for the ACT exam. Fees for both exams are approximately $60.00. Waivers are available for those families qualifying for free and reduced lunch. To register for the LCHS SAT testing day in September, please email Mrs. Buher.
