Alumni Giving
Lake Country School relies on Development support to bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of an LCS education. Our reach spans all corners of our community, and our goal is full and meaningful participation from all who love LCS. Whether it's volunteering your time, donating your talents, or supporting financially, we welcome all participation from our LCS community. If you are interested in volunteering with Development, please reach out to Interim Advancement Director, Harrison McLean. If you are interested if giving in other ways, please visit the Giving page of our website.
