LTCP is a selective enrollment high school located in the heart of the city of Chicago. We are ranked #3 in the state. Our school attracts students from all over the city, from just about every neighborhood in Chicago. We have a very diverse population with over forty-five hundred, academically talented students and forty different languages spoken in the home.
Our students are extremely bright, self-driven and conscious.
It is no surprise that we currently have twenty-three, active sports and over seventy-five, student-led clubs. Our students are involved and eager to contribute to the school community. Some of our students have been locally and nationally recognized for their inventions, leadership and academic achievements.
I can't explain the awesomeness of our student body; the kids are amazing. What I can say is that Lane students respect one another and embrace each others' similarities just as much as they embrace their differences. That is what makes our students special.
My Project
Counselors coordinate a carnival themed event each year to recognize our seniors who commit to a school. Eighty-seven percent of our seniors enroll in a four year college, so College Decision Day is a big deal at LT. Invited students must meet certain guidelines and provide proof of their commitment.
Fifty-two percent of our students are eligible for free or reduced price lunch and could use some extra help with college supplies.
During the event, we raffle off tons of college goodies (dorm room items) and the grand prizes are given to the students who show the most school spirit. The grand prize has been a bike for the past few years but last year, we gave away two bikes and we're hoping to have two this time around. The creativity keeps getting better year after year.
With the help of the grand prizes (bikes), we'll be able to afford dorm goodies for more students. We would like to raffle off as many prizes as possible for our hard working and deserving students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
