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 attend the 8th Grade Open House on November 6 to learn more about the wealth of opportunities that Lemont High School offers its student population. There will not be a placement exam for the Class of 2029.

New Student Enrollment

The "New Student Enrollment" page details the required steps for student enrollment for incoming freshmen - including Old Quarry Middle School students and non-Old Quarry students. All new students must complete the New Student Online Enrollment module to initiate their enrollment into Lemont High School. This will include uploading a variety of documents, including those that prove residency.

After reviewing the information on the "New Student Enrollment" page, parents/guardians who have questions about student enrollment should contact Registrar/Counseling Secretary Colleen Amberg at (630) 243-3218, or via email by clicking on her name.

Lemont High School will not administer a placement exam to the Class of 2029. Placements will be made based on standardized test scores that are provided to the school.

Parents/guardians or students who have questions concerning placements should contact one of the following: Tina Malak (English) at (630) 243-3236; Brittany Zettergren (Mathematics) at (630) 243-3263; Erin Horan (Science) at (630) 243-3266; or Rick Prangen (Social Studies) at (630) 243-3243.

Lemont High School will receive standardized test score information for 8th graders at Old Quarry Middle School. The school will receive similar information for students enrolled in private schools as parents/guardians of those students submit the "Request for Release of Student Records" form to their students' schools. Parents/guardians of future Lemont High School students who are currently attending Cass Junior High School in Darien are encouraged to follow the steps for non-Old Quarry students detailed on the "New Student Enrollment" page.

Division Chairs at Lemont High School will make course level recommendations for members of the Class of 2029 after reviewing standardized test scores provided by students' grade schools; there will not be a placement exam for the Class of 2029. Counselors will collect the recommendations of the Division Chairs and generate preliminary placement information.

Placements will be delivered electronically to incoming freshman families in January 2025; this will include an explanation concerning how placements are determined. Students will be advised of the number of electives they can choose for the 2025-26 school year and how to use the school's Program of Studies to select those electives. Students will be instructed on how to submit their elective requests.

Please visit the "Course Selection" page for additional information, including links to the Program of Studies, a sample Freshman Course Selection Form, and the Freshman Placement Recommendation Waiver Form.

Lemont High School will finalize its course offerings for the 2025-26 school year in December; course descriptions and the Program of Studies will be updated as information is available, but all course descriptions should be finalized by the end of December.

Lemont High School utilizes an online registration process; this will be completed for all students in July and August 2025, prior to the start of the 2025-26 school year.
