Schools

Welcome Back to School, Crystal Lake South!

Calling all Crystal Lake South High School students: post your first-day back photos!

Summer is officially over for Crystal Lake South students.

With the new school year upon us, we want to hear from Lake in the Hills parents and students attending Crystal Lake South and any other District 155 schools: Are you excited to be back to school? What are you looking forward to most this year? Already counting the days until next summer/graduation? 

We are looking forward to continuing to provide coverage of District 155 this year, as well as the three other school districts Lake in the Hills kids attends.

And we always enjoy hearing from readers on how we can improve coverage: What do you think we should we be focusing on within District 155 or your school district this year? Any particular teams or organizations that deserve a shout out? Or students or staff within the district that stand out? 

For the Lake in the Hills kids within District 47 still on summer break — enjoy it while it lasts!  for District 47:

For those who have some time before school starts, what will you be doing over these last weeks of summer? Any fun trips? And what are you looking forward to, or dreading, about that first day of school? 

We want to see your first-day-back-to-school pictures! You can post directly to this article or send to the editor at amie.schaenzer@patch.com.
