Phil LaScala, Lake Forest High School

Business Incubator Program

May 06, 2026

Phil LaScala is the head instructor for the Lake Forest High School Business Incubator Program

What is the Business Incubator? 

​The LFHS Foundation partnered with Lake Forest High School to create the Business Incubator in Fall 2014. This Junior level Honors course in the Business Department offers students a unique opportunity to become true entrepreneurs by creating and developing their own product or service. Students are coached and mentored by real entrepreneurs and business experts from our community and beyond. During the year-long course, student teams learn about ideation, marketing, accounting, human resources, as well as the legal and financial aspects of running a business. Principles and processes from the LEAN concept - a scientific approach to creating and managing startups - guide students as they test their thinking and vision. To further inspire creativity, a customized classroom has been designed to ignite brainstorming and foster collaboration as students develop products and services for the real world. The course culminates in Pitch Night, a “Shark-Tank” style presentation where student teams present their innovative ideas to a Board of Directors for the chance to earn funding for their businesses. Part of this process also includes the student teams working to create promotional materials, press releases, and to solicit potential investors to attend Pitch Night.

Teams that are funded during Pitch Night then have the option to continue on with the process of starting up their business during the second year program, the Business Accelerator – a Senior level honors business class.

Rotarians, please sign up to donate some of your time or at least stop by the Lake Bluff Gazebo in Village Square to promote our Rotary Club, wear Rotary shirtd & hats, etc.

I will be passing around a sign-up sheet this week on September 2nd, so please sign up, list your email, phone contact, preferred shift(s) if applicable.

We are in need of 4-5 Rotarians dedicated to clean up at 4-5 p.m. because the All-Day shift is worn out by that time of the day.

I will also be passing around a sign up sheet for items we need to borrow and/or acquire for the actual event.

Thank you.
