The Future Healthcare professionals welcomed back LW graduate-Husna Hussaini (Class of 20) to share tips and tricks for getting admitted to Medical school.

LWE APUSH students are deepening their comprehension of the history of the late 19th century by taking a particular topic from within that period, and teaching and explaining their topic to their classmates. To prepare, students read more on their topic, analyzed primary and secondary sources that help illustrate the topic, and outlined an argumentative essay using historical examples as evidence to evaluate or prove a historical development.

Scholastic Bowl Team has had a great start to 2nd Semester! Varsity wins over Lincoln-Way Central and a dominant 380-90 Frosh-Soph win over the Knights. They followed that up with a 2nd Place finish in the Challenge Division of the Loyola Ultima Tournament this past Saturday.
