Preparing for the College
Application Process

 

Wednesday, September 4, 2019

6:30pm @ LAHS PAC

 

This
event, focused mostly for seniors though available to any family,
will emphasize strategies and tips for selecting and applying to
college. Presented by Paul Kanarek (co-founder of the California
branch of The Princeton Review) from CollegeWise.

College Essay Night

 

Tuesday, September 17, 2019

6:30pm @ LAHS PAC

 

This event, focused mostly for
seniors though available for all families, will cover best
practices for composing a college admissions essay that best
reflects the student applicant. Presented by Allison Lopour
(former admissions reader at Redlands University) from CollegeWise.

Financial Aid Information Night

 

Tuesday, October 15, 2019

6:30pm @ Location TBD

 

Navigating the FAFSA and college financial aid needs
can be a daunting task for students and families. This event will
highlight the federal application for student aid, as well as
resources for scholarships and private financial assistance.
Presented by Jodi Okun, founder of College Financial Aid Advisors and parent to
two LAHS grads.

 

 

California Scholarship Federation @ LAHS

CSF accepts applications twice each year. They
will be available for the fall semester near the beginning of
school and the spring semester after finals in January.
Membership is based on your grades from the previous semester
at LAHS, so freshman are not eligible to apply for
membership in the fall semester. Applications can be found
and submitted in the Counseling Office or online. You
must apply each semester in order to maintain membership in
the club

What do I get out of being in CSF?

 

Membership in California Scholarship
Federation has more benefits than we can count. For colleges,
it shows schools that you’re engaged in your community,
passionate about helping others, and excelling academically.
But even without the bonus of helping beef up your resume,
CSF is still fantastic, as provides you with an opportunity
to meet new people and get in touch with the world around you
by providing service to those in need.

Hey, Hey, Hey –

What’s Happenin’ Los Al?!

 

 

 

 

Griffin Football takes on Torrey Pines

Spirited Students & Staffs

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

 

Los Alamitos High School believes all students have the right to attend school, participate in programs and activities, and be free from any
form of discrimination based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, ethnic group identification, age, religion,
marital/parental status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, immigration/citizenship status; or genetic information; the
perception of one or more of these actual or perceived
characteristics. 

 

In an effort to
establish and maintain a learning environment where all students can thrive, LAHS takes reports of verbal or electronic act(s) of bullying, intimidation, harassment, discrimination, threat-making behavior and/or act of violence toward another student, based on the above characteristics, very seriously. Incidents of this nature are contrary to what the school and school district believe, and also violate Board Policy and the State of California’s Education Code. Therefore, any reported act will be fully investigated, and appropriate measures will be taken in the area of school disciplinary measures, up to and including suspension and/or expulsion.
