Over the weekend, the SCSBOA All Southern California High School Honor groups streamed their performances. There are three freshman Orchestra members, Rachel C., Victoria P. violins; and Lucy K., cello, who participated in the Symphonic Orchestra performance of the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar. Listen to their performance below. Bravo and Congratulations, girls!
This practice test is for ALL students. Students do not need to be music program or LCHS students, so invite your friends! (All students need to say they are registering for the “LCHS MPA Fundraiser”).
At $20, this is a GREAT deal for every student from Freshmen and Sophomores who want exposure to the tests, to Juniors and Seniors to take multiple times to prep for the actual tests, and to decide whether they test better on SAT or ACT.

One of our fundraising partners is offering a webinar for AP Testing…
Hi Parents,
With the APs coming up in early May, I wanted to share a free resource to help your child prepare for the exams. Revolution Prep is hosting a webinar on March 4th at 5:00 p.m. called “Intro to AP Exams.”
The webinar will familiarize parents and students with the AP content, why they matter, and how to succeed on these rigorous, college-level assessments.
Many students underestimate the importance of getting additional support in preparation for these exams, especially in 2021 when the exams will look a bit different due to the pandemic. Revolution Prep has great tutoring programs with tutors who specialize in the APs—both one-on-one Private Tutoring and Small Group Tutoring. As experts in online learning with a decade of experience teaching virtually, Revolution Prep’s tutors can make a huge difference in your child’s preparation.
This practice test is for ALL students. Students do not need to be music program or LCHS students, so invite your friends! (All students need to say they are registering for the “LCHS MPA Fundraiser”).
At $20, this is a GREAT deal for every student from Freshmen and Sophomores who want exposure to the tests, to Juniors and Seniors to take multiple times to prep for the actual tests, and to decide whether they test better on SAT or ACT.
