LFHS Motto

Abeunt Studia in Mores, inscribed in stone over the main entrance, is the Lake Forest High School motto. 

 Literally translated from Latin it would read:

  • Abeunt (“they leave” or “they go away from”)
  • Studia (“eagerness, fondness, desire, striving after, devotion to, or “zeal”)
  • in (“in” or “into”)
  • Mores (“morality, philosophy,” or “ethics”)

Hence, it could be translated to read:

  • “They leave, striving after morality.”
  • “Pursuits (studies) become habits”
