Lake Forest Community High School District 115 has announced a call for contributions from community members, alumni, and veteran faculty and staff for a special library display celebrating the school's 90th anniversary. The school is seeking unique items that highlight its history.

According to Lake Forest Community High School D115, the institution is collecting non-print memorabilia—such as buttons, letterman jackets, and accessories—to include in its 90th-anniversary library display. All items will be carefully tagged and returned at the end of the school year. Those with items from the 1930s through the 1980s or earlier are encouraged to contact Librarian Katie Pausch.

The high school is also hosting a 90th-anniversary celebration on Saturday, September 20, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Gorton Center parking lot. In case of rain, the event will move indoors. The celebration will feature live performances by several bands composed of LFHS alumni from different graduating classes, including the Nic Barnum Band, Mirror Images, and The All-Star Band. Food and drinks will be available for purchase from vendors such as Duffer’s Pub, Snowie, and Gerhard’s European desserts. Attendees can reserve tickets online at a discounted price; children under ten receive free admission and parking.
