Tuesday, August 18, 2015
Lincoln-Way High School District 210 teachers and staff members kicked off the 2015-2016 school year today with a commitment to students during the Opening Day Institute held at Lincoln-Way East.
More than 300 marching band students from Lincoln-Way Central, East, North and West filled the auditorium, playing the National Anthem from the aisles. The colors were presented by Lincoln-Way Air Force Junior ROTC cadets.
“It’s a favorite tradition among Lincoln-Way staff to start the year off with a performance from all four Lincoln-Way bands,” said Superintendent Dr. R. Scott Tingley.
“This is the most important year in our history,” Tingley said. “We will begin this year as one Lincoln-Way. Every student is a Lincoln-Way student. Our drum majors, quarterbacks, team captains, and club leaders are all Lincoln-Way students and we will give them the very best high school experience.”
Lincoln-Way 210 Board of Education members were also in attendance and Board President Kevin Molloy offered words of gratitude for the work of teachers and staff to make Lincoln-Way great.
Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum Tim Reilly highlighted the district’s academic growth. This year marked Lincoln-Way’s highest composite ACT scores and graduation rates continue to climb.
“We are going to do what we do best and that is giving Lincoln-Way students every academic and social opportunity to succeed,” Reilly said.
