Lake Orion High School is excited to announce that we will be hosting our 15th annual College Fair and Information Night on Monday, March 3 beginning at 5:00 p.m. We would like to extend the invitation to our high school students, and their parents, to attend and learn more about a variety of post-secondary opportunities at our MACRAO sponsored event. Currently, we have representatives from approximately 60 colleges, universities, technical / trade schools, and armed forces recruiters that have confirmed their participation – we expect more to confirm in the upcoming weeks.

Students who plan on attending the College Fair are encouraged to register by visiting the provided hyperlinked website below (or by scanning the QRcode on the flier). By registering, students will be provided with a barcode that may be printed, or students can elect to store the barcode electronically on their personal device by taking a screenshot. Possessing the barcode provides students with a streamlined method that allows them to quickly and efficiently share their contact information with admission representatives and institutions that they have interest in. Thus, students will be afforded more time to speak with representatives (rather than filling out prospect cards at each table).

Attached are the Snapcode and hyperlink for student registration, as well as some potential questions that students may be interested in asking admissions representatives.

We look forward to seeing you on March 3, 2025.

Thank you

Charity Week at Lake Orion High School is a long-standing tradition, organized and run by the Leadership class, with the goal of raising money for a chosen charity - this year "Leader Dogs for the Blind". Each year, the school community comes together in an exciting and meaningful way, participating in a variety of creative and engaging events to support an important cause. Throughout the week, students and staff take part in numerous activities designed to encourage participation and fundraising. See the list of events below:

Important Note: Senior updates and more information can be found on the Lake Orion High School website under the Senior Class of 2025 page or our new Class of 2025 Smore.
