Admissions Application Process

Create a Ravenna Hub Account and Submit Intake Form

If you haven’t already, create an account on Ravenna-Hub and complete your Student Profile. Once done, head to the School Directory and select Lick-Wilmerding High School. Click “Apply” (don’t worry, this doesn’t commit you to applying), and you'll gain access to register for events of your choosing.

Be sure to submit the Intake Form as well. This required step allows us to learn about your child's interests and help us create the most meaningful campus visit for your child.

Learn about LWHS through Events

Our events are designed for families considering entry for Fall 2026. 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.

Register for a Cub Conversation

Cub Conversations (Convos) are informal, one-on-one conversations between two prospective students and an LWHS faculty or staff member. They’re a chance for us to learn more about you, your interests, experiences, and the unique perspective you’d bring to the LWHS community. No preparation is required.

Cub Convos will be offered on weekday afternoons from September through January, and registration opens on Ravenna beginning August 27. This is a required step in the admissions process, but you do not need to have submitted your application in order to sign up.
