It's LFHS Foundation Grant Day!We are thrilled to share that we will be funding 12 new grants and one standing grant in 2023. These grants represent a total of approximately $137,000 that will be invested in educational excellence at LFHS.

It was a day filled with excitement and joy. We are deeply grateful to our generous community because your support makes this all possible!

LFHS is a special place for many reasons beginning with the teachers and staff being committed to the growth of each student and extending to the numerous state-of-the-art learning opportunities available. Our mission is to support, enrich and enhance the LFHS experience for all students, faculty and staff through investing in educational excellence at our distinguished high school. Since 2002, with the support of our generous community, we have invested in more than 300 grants awarding over $2.5 million in funding. And it shows! Foundation grants are transforming traditional classrooms, increasing collaboration, and engaging students in innovative learning experiences.
*Based on grants awarded since 2002.
A day in the life at LFHS might include conducting experiments at mobile science lab tables, using Virtual Reality Headsets to explore the Galapagos Islands, testing a physics calculation using projectile launchers, playing Mozart on the new concert piano, recording a podcast in the professional sound studio, tinkering with a robot in the Makerspace or making 3-D creations using a universal laser cutter. With these tools, provided through the Foundation, LFHS students learn by doing. Modernized classrooms such as the Digital Arts Lab and Business Incubator mirror professional environments.
