College Visitations
The best way to get to know more about a school and get a “feel” for what it would be like to attend is to visit.
LHS Juniors and Seniors are permitted to take 4 days to visit colleges (permission slip required prior to visiting).
When visiting a college it is recommended that you contact the admissions office and arrange to attend the information session and take a student guided campus tour.
