Zum Campus gehören ein großer Sportplatz (für Feld-Hockey, Lacrosse und Ultimate) und einer Laufbahn und einen [[Football]]platz mit zwei Tribünen. Da die Schule sehr nahe an Wohngebieten liegt, hat die Stadt Lake Forest nicht erlauben, das die Schulfootballmannschaft Flutlicht verwendet, aber im Jahr 2006 erlaubte die Stadt einmalig die Nutzung des Flutlichtes für ein Nachtspiel. Im Jahr 2007 wurde durch ein Referendum die Verlegung des Footballspiele auf den Westcampus, wo Flutlicht gestattet ist, gefordert. Das Referendum führte zu einer überwältigenden 2/3 Mehrheit, und die anschliessenden Umbauten erfolgten in zwei Phasen. Die erste Phase, die während des laufenden 2007/2008 Schuljahr absolviert wurde führte zum Bau des Musikflügels und die Erneuerung des Westcampus einschließlich Bau eines Varsity-Feld. Die zweite Phase, im August 2008 abgeschlossen, beinhaltete Um- und Neubauten im Ostcampus mit einer neuen Mensa, einem großen Atrium und Bibliothek, sowie den Bau von Verwaltungsbüros auf dem westlichen Campus, zusätzlich wurden auf dem Westcampus ein neuer [[Kunstrasen]]-Footballplatz mit Flutlicht erbaut. |

A 2007 referendum relocated the school's football facilities to the school's west campus, where the use of floodlights is not prohibited. The referendum passed by an overwhelming 2/3 majority, and renovations took place in two phases. The first phase, completed during the 2007/2008 school year, included the addition of a music wing, and renovation of the west campus including construction of a Varsity field. The second phase, completed in August 2008, included academic renovations at the east campus with a brand new dining room, a large atrium or "The Commons" and library, and construction of administrative offices at the west campus, additionally at West campus a new football field complete with floodlights and astro turf was built, now allowing night games. Prior to this, a first referendum was passed on November 7, 2006 unanimously by the Lake Forest High School Board of Education. This referendum was later passed on to the rest of the community and appropriated $54 million to be paid back over the next 20 years. {{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} |

Lake Forest High School, oder kurz LFHS, ist eine öffentliche Vier-Jahres-High School in Lake Forest, einem wohlhabenden Vorort in der Metropolregion Chicagos, Illinois, in den Vereinigten Staaten.

Die Sporteinrichtungen sind sehr nahe an den Wohnorten und umfassen eine Kletterwand, ein Olympia-Schwimmbecken mit Sprungturm und gute ausgestattete Schulsporthalle.[2] Zum Campus gehören ein großer Sportplatz (für Feld-Hockey, Lacrosse und Ultimate) und einer Laufbahn und einen Footballplatz mit zwei Tribünen. Da die Schule sehr nahe an Wohngebieten liegt, hat die Stadt Lake Forest nicht erlauben, das die Schulfootballmannschaft Flutlicht verwendet, aber im Jahr 2006 erlaubte die Stadt einmalig die Nutzung des Flutlichtes für ein Nachtspiel.
