College, Military and Career reps visit our campus to meet our AMAZING WILDCATS!

During their visit, they will share information about admissions, campus life & more.

We encourage EVERY junior and senior to attend at least three visits this fall.

Pick a campus that you are familiar with, one that is new to you and one more of interest and show up ready to learn about the variety of options available to you after high school!

Students can see who is visiting LHS and register to attend visits of interest through SchooLinks.

Remember to always let your teacher know ahead of an absence that you are attending a rep visit

and that you are responsible for any missed work in class.

CRC staff will note your attendance at each visit.
