Lake Academic Boosters (LAB) has been in existence for over twenty years to promote educational excellence at Lake Local Schools by recognizing students for exemplary academic performance.  The primary emphasis of the academic booster club during the early years involved sponsoring academic recognition programs for students in the Lake Local School District from grades 5 through 12. During recent years, LAB expanded its role of supporting Lake scholars by issuing scholarships to Lake High School students. In addition, the Lake Academic Booster Club helps provide funding and support for student groups that primarily have an academic emphasis.

LAB will continue to recognize students for exemplary academic performance. From grade five through twelve certificates will be awarded to students during annual recognition programs. During high school, academic letters and pins will be provided during these programs. Eligibility for a Lake Academic Letter is determined by the Lake Middle / High School Counseling Office and is based on the student’s academic records as outlined in the student handbook.

Throughout the years the number of students recognized and the amount of scholarship dollars awarded by LAB has continually increased. During the spring of 2024, we recognized more than 850 Lake students for academic excellence, and nearly $20,000 in scholarships was raised for our graduating Lake High School Seniors using merit and economic need-based criteria.  LAB solicits financial support for these scholarships from community members, local business members, parents, and Lake staff members each school year. 

The deadline for our current scholarship drive is March 14, 2025. The Lake Academic Booster Club is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.
