New Student Enrollment

Lemont High School – a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School – will host its annual 8th Grade Open House on Wednesday, November 10, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The event provides an opportunity for current 8th grade students and their families to visit campus and meet Lemont High School teachers, counselors and administrators.

Any incoming student who lives within the school’s attendance boundaries, or who will live within those boundaries during the 2022-23 school year, is encouraged to take advantage of the “sneak peek” the open house provides. Lemont High School’s attendance boundaries include Lemont and portions of Darien, Downers Grove and Woodridge.

Students and their families will have the chance to learn about the fine academic and extra-curricular programs offered by Lemont High School. Prospective students and their families may visit various areas throughout the building as well, including the school’s outstanding athletic facilities, the state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, and the newly revamped CITGO Innovation Academy.

Individuals with disabilities who need accommodations are encouraged to call the school’s main line - (630) 257-5838 - in advance to make arrangements. The 8th Grade Open House will begin in the school’s Performing Arts Center, which is located on the southwest side of campus. Lemont High School is located at 800 Porter Street in Lemont.

To align with current health and safety mandates from the State of Illinois, masks or face coverings will be required at all times for attendees.

There will be no placement exam for the Class of 2026. Course placements will be made based on standardized test scores that are provided to the school by students’ grade schools.

NOTE FOR PARENTS OF STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CATHOLIC/PRIVATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

The “High School Recruitment” section in the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Handbook for School Administrators places restrictions on the relationships that public schools may have with Catholic grade schools. Specifically, Catholic elementary schools may not:

• Invite public high schools to Catholic elementary school-sponsored high school recruitment events; 
• Provide an opportunity for public high schools to hold placement tests on their campuses; or 
• Distribute promotional materials from public high schools.

Parents/guardians of Catholic or private school students who are considering attending Lemont High School next year are encouraged to visit the school’s 8th Grade Open House on November 10 to learn more about the wealth of opportunities Lemont High School offers its student population.

Parents/guardians of students who currently are enrolled in any private school but are considering attending Lemont High School next year are encouraged to visit the New Student Enrollment page. Once there, parents/guardians should follow the instructions for non-Old Quarry Middle School students.
