LTHS to host College Week

Following Spring Break, Lyons Township High School kicks off College Week on Monday, March 31, to raise awareness about the many college opportunities that await LT students and to end the senior year with a little spirit. It also promotes conversation and interest in the college process for juniors and some great memories and stories from faculty and staff as they reminisce about their experiences.
 
College/Scholarship Pride Day starts off the week. Students who bring copies of their college acceptance and/or scholarship offers to the College Center will receive a sweet treat!

 

Tuesday is Sticker Day and gives faculty and staff an opportunity to proudly sport the name of their alma mater. Administrators, faculty, and staff will have a chance to show students where they went to college and to offer personal insights. The College/Career Center will supply every employee with a sticker that reads: I graduated from __________. Employees can tout the name of the college(s) where they received their undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degree(s). Students should ask faculty, staff and administrators about their experiences.

Seniors will also have a chance to wear stickers. Their choices are: I will be attending _______________ or I’ve been accepted to _____________.  Students should be proud of the decisions they made for their future and want to talk to juniors about the process.
 
Wednesday, April 2, is the highlight of the week with College Night at North Campus, which offers students an opportunity to meet representatives from more than 200 schools that will be prepared to answer questions about admission requirements, strength of a program or major, housing, financial costs and aid, as well as fraternities, sororities, and athletics. Each college/university will be assigned a table in the fieldhouse. Counselors will be available throughout the evening to help direct students to colleges that offer specific majors. For more information, visit www.LTHS.net/CollegeFairInfo.

Show your College Spirit on Thursday, April 3. LT staff and students are encouraged to wear their favorite college gear to show their support for their favorite university or college team. 

 

Friday completes the week with Pennant Pride. Students and staff are encouraged to pick up a blank pennant in the College Center during the week and decorate it with colors and logo of the college you will be attending.  Pennants will be displayed in the hallway outside the College Center.
