District 115 Information

Lake Forest High School Communication Department utilizes several communication methods to help LFHS families and the community stay informed.

These include this website, the parent E-newsletter “HIGHLIGHTS," press releases to various newspaper/magazine publications, and an Instant Alert telephone system.

The Lake Forest High School newsletter “HIGHLIGHTS” provides LFHS families with frequently scheduled information that is timely and informative about LFHS regarding Board of Education, Class News, Department News (Athletics/Academics/Community Education/Student Services (Academic Advising, Testing, College Resources, Student Clubs, Service-Volunteer opportunities)/Parent Opportunities/Performances.
