John's invitation to the prestigious summer camp also denotes mastery of the first hurdle towards acceptance into the Academy.

John maintains a 4.5 grade point average along with participating in dual enrolled classes at SWF State. John would be the fourth LaBelle High School student in the past seven years to be accepted to the Academy. John Marotti, LHS class of 2011, Morgan Pepitone, LHS class of 2013 , and Michael Martinez, LHS class of 2015, were all accepted to West Point.

LaBelle High School received their summer scores and would like to recognize teacher and student achievement. Mr. Cadet's AB and BC Calculus classes had a 100% pass rate. Mrs. Rodriguez's AP Spanish class had a 75% pass rate. Mrs. Bechtel's Biology class had 6 of 12 students pass and all students scored at the college ready level or above. The number of passing scores increased in World History, English Literature, Human Geography, Art, Statistics, Psychology, and Government. The curriculum from the AP program is more rigorous for students. College Board stresses the importance of scoring at least a score of 2 on the test. The score of 2 means the student will be college ready in that subject. Therefore, even if a student earns a 2, they benefit by increasing content knowledge when they make the commitment to engage in AP courses.
LHS has expanded the number of test taken from 230 in 2012 to a projection of over 500 for the 2016-17 school year. As a community, AP helps grow students and they reward teachers and schools that participate. Students can earn college credit for scores over 3. Schools and teachers earn monetary rewards for all passing exams. Parents are reminded to check summer assignments of their children and email AP teachers. If parents need any assistance or question about the LHS AP program please contact Dr. Iris Borghese or Mr. Kelley at 674-4120. Parents can also email kelleyd@hendry-schools.net.
What is your plan after High School?
Students:
Please bring a copy of your enlistment paper, college or technical school acceptance letters. We want to recognize you!
LHS Senior Checklist
The 16-17 School year is coming to a close and the LHS Administration would like to encourage Senior parents to ask questions or get help with some important tasks. There are several Senior tasks to be finished before the school year ends. We would hope that all seniors have a head start on their future and understand the available resources.
Financial AID Night Equals HUGE SUCCESS!!
Over 100 students showed up to get a head start on their financial aid packages last night as guidance hosted the annual Senior Financial Aid Seminar. Students were able to ask questions about different ways to find financial aid, submit local only scholarships and get one on one help from the awesome LHS Guidance Department! Thanks to all who helped out!!
In an effort to increase college and career readiness for our students, LaBelle High will be administering the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) at school on March 1, 2017 for 11th grade students. This exam (normally $57.00) will be offered at NO COST to your student. Additionally, if your student has not passed the state FSA 10th grade English Language Arts test, a passing concordant score on the SAT can be used to meet the state graduation requirement.
Registration for the students will begin in the coming weeks and will be completed through the school site. The are many excellent career and college resources and scholarships available to students that require a score from a test like the SAT. This is an important opportunity for students.
Free, online and paper practice and resources are available to all students at:
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice
https://www.khanacademy.org/sat
In order to be well prepared, students should be well rested, eat a good breakfast, and be be on time. Please encourage your student to put forth their best effort!
