KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Invest in Educational Excellence: All Donations are Valued

​Since 2002, donations to the LFHS Foundation from families like yours have funded over 285 grants that have helped transform learning across the curriculum. In partnership with LFHS teachers, students and administrators we assist in creating a top-notch learning environment for all. Your contribution is critical as this impact only happens with the generous support of our community. Knowledge is power! This year donors giving $250 or more during registration will receive a signature LFHS Foundation wireless charging pad as a token of our appreciation for your willingness to help us “empower” all learners.

Pitch Night is the culmination of the Business Incubator course at LFHS. This year nearly 25% of the junior class is enrolled in this honors business course. At Pitch Night up to four of this year's 17 teams have the opportunity to pitch their business plans in a "Shark Tank" style format to a Board of Directors and private investors in hopes of winning prize money and possibly funding to launch their business. The other teams will get the opportunity to share their ideas in convention style lobby displays.
