When Lemont Township High School was founded in 1906, it had just one class consisting of five students. The school eventually expanded to 100 students in 1925 when its current building first opened. Today, Lemont High School serves nearly 1,500 students, and offers a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, sports and clubs.
LHS follows the Block 8 system, where students are enrolled in eight courses that meet every other day. Subjects covered in nearly 200 classes offered during the school year include math, science, social studies, English, music, art, foreign language, and career and technical education.
