In honor of “D117 Day” on January 17, I was thrilled to highlight two exceptional District 117 educators who truly embody our D117 Portrait of a Graduate. This feature, the first of a regular quarterly series, focuses on LCHS Social Studies Teacher Alex Jarosz and ACHS CTE Teacher Jon Salaban. I was honored to sit down and interview both of them in their classrooms. Through their unique approaches and dedication, they serve as shining examples of the competencies we aim to instill in all of our students by the time they graduate! You can share this link to the story on our website here !

On Monday, counselors will present to current freshmen about the selection process and class-specific considerations. After this meeting, students will have 3 weeks to schedule appointments with counselors to choose classes for next year.

This year, an ACT Prep class will be offered by Lakes Community High School to current juniors and taught by District 117 teachers. The objective of the class is to learn and practice test-taking strategies in preparation for the ACT exam within the comfort of familiar surroundings and content teachers. Students will attend a series of sessions that will acquaint them with the expectations of the test, enabling them to analyze their own results on the practice test, and sharpen their understanding of key skills covered on the test. Please check this Information Letter for LCHS ACT Test Prep 2024-25.
