Information and pictures about Honored and Distinguished Alumni
are incorporated into a media presentation that is part of the LJHS
Wall of Honored Alumni. The wall, located in the LJHS commons,
recognizes notable District 27 graduates. The media presentation is
projected on a large video screen installed in the commons and was
created for two purposes. The first purpose is to honor the many and
varied accomplishments of alumni. The second is to provide positive
role models for current and future students. The Distinguished
Alumni are additionally recognized by placing a wall plaque that
includes their picture.
Lincoln Elementary School District 27 welcomes and encourages
nominations from the public of alumni to honor in future
celebrations.
Nominations
can be made online from the district website,
Lincoln27.com. Nomination
forms are also available at the district administration building,
304 Eighth St. in Lincoln.
