College Board AP Exams will be held in person at Lake Forest High School during the week of May 10, 2021. All AP Students should check their College Board account to make sure they are registered for the format of their choice.
For students taking a morning exam, they should be in their testing classroom by 7:45 am. For those taking the afternoon exam, students should plan to be at their testing classroom by 12:00 noon. Room assignments will be emailed to teachers and posted in the Front Commons.
Here is the Exam Schedule for the upcoming week.
Please note, if a student has to quarantine due to close contact tracing, they should be prepared to then opt to the AP Digital Format, if/when they are forced to miss the “in person paper/pencil” format.
Students that are taking the at home digital format are reminded to check their email daily for College Board and LFHS updates. They must make sure the device they are taking the exam on has the Digital App correctly downloaded. LFHS has downloaded the digital app on school issued chromebooks, but AP students must engage in a trial test to make sure their device is working. Students must also complete a “ College Board Readiness” step 1-3 days BEFORE the exam date. Here are some helpful links:

Many thanks to our LFHS staff, students, and community volunteers for your participation and support at our May 5 vaccine clinic!
Lake Forest High School is marking National Mental Health Awareness Month with events including a May 3 Decision Day 2021 lunchtime visit from emotional support dogs in partnership with Paws for Patrick, the non-profit organization that honors the memory of Lake Forest High School student Patrick Roemer.
Decision Day is when accepted college applicants across the country must decide which school they'll attend in the fall. This is a day of high emotion and, for some, significant anxiety. Paws for Patrick works to ensure that young people have access to emotional support animals to help them cope with mental health issues.
LFHS is also participating in Paws for Patrick’s “Turn Our Towns Green” campaign, an effort to raise awareness and break the stigma of mental health. On May 21, LFHS will distribute green ribbon pins and Text-A-Tip cards to students and staff. Text-A-Tip is an anonymous text-communication system for young people who need immediate mental health assistance for themselves or for a friend.
LFHS staff will also host an art therapy rock painting activity in lunch periods during National Mental Health Awareness Month.
Nearly one in five Americans lives with mental health. If you would like to talk to someone or have a friend who may need emotional support, our Counseling and Core Teams are available and ready to provide assistance.
