Lane Tech College Prep is the largest public school in Chicago, ranked #3 in Illinois by U.S. News and World Report. To achieve this level of success, Lane has developed an unparalleled portfolio of challenging academic programs, skill-building STEM classes and extracurricular
activities, many of which are not possible without community donations.
Our 4,300-member student body reflects the cultural and social diversity of Chicago. Our students represent every Chicago ward, and over 40% come from low income households. CPS funds alone are insufficient to provide programs, experiences and even basic infrastructure that allow us to maintain our high educational standards.
Friends of Lane is an all-volunteer, parent-driven, Lane Tech Community organization and registered 501(c)(3) non profit. Our goal is to build community and support Lane Tech parents, teachers, students, administrators, and staff.
We offer our parents an avenue to stay involved in your student’s education and be a part of Lane Tech. We recognize teachers, administrators, and staff with an annual appreciation luncheon. In addition, we offer Teacher Grants to help bridge the funding gap and provide the necessary materials to students to expand their learning opportunities. We also provide students with service learning opportunities.
