College Preparation & Counseling

At LuHi, the College Process is Personal

When your child reaches high school, you want to know they’re on the right track. After all, this is when it all comes together — the academics, extracurriculars, sports, interests and hobbies — and it all culminates in answering two big questions: Where will they go after they graduate, and are they ready for what’s next? 

Preparing Students for College Success

Hear from LuHi counselors and students about how our tailored approach to academics, leadership, and faith equips students for success in college and beyond.

LuHi’s college planning process is intentional and individualized. From identifying best-fit colleges to navigating applications and earning college credit, our school counseling team walks alongside each student every step of the way. Below, you’ll learn more about how we help students prepare for success after graduation.

To get the best feel for our program and all we have to offer, we encourage you to schedule a meeting with the Admissions Office by contacting us at 516.626.1736 or admissions@luhi.org.

Academic Tracks

Students have course options that include college prep, honors, 20 advanced placement (AP), and dual-credit opportunities through our partnership with Molloy University. From the performing and visual arts to robotics and chemistry, LuHi students can delve into interests and discover new passions.

Electives Across Disciplines

High schoolers can explore just about any subject area that interests them. Some popular options include Multimedia Journalism, Introduction to Psychology, Marine Science, Website Design, and Sports Medicine. Our annual Beyond Boundaries week is a chance for students to pursue two mini courses, which are interdisciplinary, collaborative, and fun!

Student Clubs and Organizations

High school students take on responsibility through leadership positions or other roles in student clubs and organizations. Some of our more popular options include Art Club, Robotics, Peace Group (Christian service), Pep Band, Student Government, and Yearbook. Students can take on leadership positions or try out other roles and responsibilities.

Championship-Winning Athletics

With 19 sports teams, including our nationally ranked boys and girls basketball teams, high school students can participate at a junior varsity or varsity level. Each year, several LuHi student athletes earn college scholarships in their sport.

Service Opportunities

Participation in community service is woven into the fabric of the LuHi experience. From building houses with our local Habitat for Humanity to international mission trips, service work helps high school students practice empathy and compassion, and helps them better understand the importance of community engagement.

A Personalized Roadmap for What’s Next

LuHi graduates are accepted to and attend a wide variety colleges and universities, and many are recruited by the some of the best schools in the nation. They start working with a school counselor in 9th grade, and parents are involved right from the start to ensure a collaborative effort.

9th

GRADE

A Freshman Seminar class teaches students how to make the most of their high school experience, taking a deep dive into the importance of earning credits, developing a transcript, and why they need to be involved, to try their best, and get extra help. Parents attend Freshman Parent Night, which gives them insight into how their student can (and should) utilize all available LuHi resources.

10th

GRADE

Students are introduced to Naviance, a college and career readiness platform. They participate in Career Day and begin to explore colleges. Parents attend College Night, which covers items related to high school success, encouraging independence, starting conversations about college and college visits, beginning to explore career ideas and summer plans, and introducing them to the Naviance platform.

11th

GRADE

Students and parents join counselors for a Junior Conference to cover the entire college process and timeline, and families are given access to college resources to help keep track of pertinent information and reminders. Parents attend College Night, which reviews the college process and families hear from a panel of current seniors and their parents to discuss their advice and recommendations for getting started in the college process.

12th

GRADE

Counselors meet individually with each senior regularly to check on the status of their post-high school plans, assist with completing college and scholarships applications, and foster communication with college representatives. The school hosts many college representatives for visits, and some colleges offer on-site admissions to LuHi students. Parents attend Senior Parent Night & Financial Aid Night, which reviews the college process, expectations, and deadlines, and provides an overview of the financial aid process as it applies to college, detailing the differences between grants, loans and scholarships.


The School Counseling Office is really great at making sure that every student is met where they are and supported throughout their entire college admissions process. You can be assured they’re there to help you every step of the way!
