It’s been a busy week at LWW as the Warriors get ready for the new school year!
Air Force Junior ROTC cadets from all three Lincoln-Way schools took part in Space Camp's "Aviation Challenge Mach III" program at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This week-long camp simulates military style pilot training, including courses in aerodynamics, navigation, airport and flight operations, land and water survival, and flight physiology. The cadets "flew" multiple simulated combat missions to determine who would be the "Top Gun." In fact, our cadets' team earned the Flag Award for best overall team achievement, and cadet Miles Cahalan (LWC) earned the Right Stuff individual award for most significant contributions to his team.
We are thrilled to be welcoming our new faculty into the Lincoln-Way family this morning during orientation!

Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 is once again partnering with Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort to provide nine driver education vehicles for the Lincoln-Way high schools. Phillips and the District have agreed to extend the current lease for one year, which will keep three vehicles at each school site.
We take great pride in our relationships within the Lincoln-Way community, and this partnership is a prime example of that. With ongoing vehicle inventory shortages across the country, we are grateful that Phillips Chevrolet remains committed to supplying these vehicles so the District can maintain our quality driver education program.
