Admissions Application Process

Create a Ravenna Hub Account and Submit Intake Form

If you haven’t already, create an account on Ravenna-Hub and fill out your Student Profile. Once this is complete, go to the School Directory and select “Lick-Wilmerding High School.” Click “Apply” (don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you have to apply), then you will be able to sign up for events of your choosing.

Submitting the Intake Form will give us the opportunity to learn about your child's interests and help us create the best possible campus visit for your child. While it is not required for event sign-ups, we encourage you to fill it out at your earliest convenience.

Learn about LWHS through Events

Our events are designed for families considering entry for Fall 2025. We have both in-person and virtual events available! Below (under the section "Connect with Us") you will find different ways to connect with LWHS, and we fully encourage you to navigate our website to learn about our curriculum and the other dynamic aspects of our school. Registration for all admissions events is through Ravenna-Hub (a registration code is not required).

Register for a Cub Conversation

LWHS offers many dates for a Cub Conversation (Convo) with registration available on Ravenna beginning August 28. In a Cub Convo, two prospective students will have an informal conversation with one faculty or staff member. Cub Convos are an opportunity for our faculty or admissions staff members to learn more about the unique perspective you will bring to the LWHS community. No preparation is needed.

Cub Convos will be offered weekday afternoons from September through January and are a required step in our process. You do NOT need to have submitted your application to sign up for a Cub Convo.

Transcripts

Your parent/guardian must complete the Transcript Release Form and deliver it to your school's counselor/registrar to have your 7th and 8th grade transcript uploaded to Ravenna by January 22, 2025. For the 2024–2025 academic year, please submit the first 2 quarters of the year, the first semester, or the first trimester (depending on your school calendar).

If your 8th grade fall semester or trimester grades will not be completed by January 22, 2025, please ask your school's registrar to send them to our Admissions Office as soon as they are available.
