Lake City High School will be hosting a "Lunch & Learn Career Fair" on Thursday, November 19th from 11:00am - 1:00pm, during our lunch hour.

This fair provides an opportunity for students to learn about career possibilities and the pathway to them. It also provides direct communication and resources as our students emerge into the workforce and become active members of our community.

On Wednesday, December 2nd, five of our local colleges/universities will be hosting an evening event from 5:30-7:30pm on the NIC campus called “Destination College”.

• North Idaho college
• Lewis-Clark State College
• University of Idaho
• Boise State University
• Idaho State University

This is the third year hosting this event! All high school students of all ages are welcome to attend and explore academic programs and your next steps, including learning about financial aid and scholarships.

In the Launch Book you will find checklists for students heading to a College, Technical Institute, the Workforce, and Military. There is also a separate tab with more detailed information on all of the following: College Applications, Financial Aid, Scholarships, Military, Workforce, Xello, a Glossary, and more. It really will be a great resource to find everything you are looking for when planning your next steps after high school.

Hard copies are being handed out in government classes at LCHS. If you are not enrolled in this course at our campus, swing by the College and Career office for your hard copy!

About the ASVAB

The ASVAB Career Exploration Program includes a validated aptitude test and interest assessment. This assessment is a great way for students to have a better understanding of their interests and strengths.

Students interested in joining the Armed Forces are highly encouraged to take the ASVAB, as it is useful in determining future career/educational opportunities within the different military branches.

Want to take the ASVAB test? Lake City High School will be offering this test to 10th -12th graders on Wednesday, December 9, 2026.

Students will have time during T-Wolf Time on 11/6 to work on these requirements. Please use the FRP website and reach out to your Teacher Mentor (can be found in RTI Scheduler), Alpha Counselor, or College & Career staff if you need support.

Non T-Wolf Time Participants - We encourage you to join these sessions if your time/day allows. This is a great time to get help in person and understand what you should be working on. Everyone is assigned a mentor for these sessions.
