31 years. Over 3100 students. Great kids. Great coworkers. Great memories. I closed the door to B215 for 1 last time. Thank you LT for allowing me to use this room. @LTHS_D204

I stood at that spot … until you see where he was in person…. TV doesn’t do it justice.
Bubba Watson's 40 yard wedge hook shot that he pulled off to win the 2012 Masters never gets old to watch. The fact that he was able to do this on golf's biggest stage was incredible.

DPVL. When Leyden was East and West as was Morton. I think Leyden merged my sophomore year and Morton my senior year.
Although before 1986 it would have been West Suburban vs. Des Plaines Valley League

Great article.
It will be a historic weekend for @YorkDukesBB in Champaign as it gets its first top-four state trophy. Here's a story from 2 months ago on Dick Campbell, who led the Dukes first 2 trips to state in 1962 and 1967, after he passed away Dec. 23 at 97. martymaciaszek.substack.com/…

Bam.
Congratulations to Dave Root for being awarded LT's Career Technology Education Instructor of the Year award. Dave is a 2003 alumni of LT and credits the Aviation courses he took here for sparking his interest in the field of Aviation. Upon graduating from LT, Dave went to one of the country's premier aviation schools, the University of North Dakota. After working as a pilot and flight instructor for several years, in 2009 Dave got a call to come back to LT to teach the very same Aviation courses he took as a student. At that time, there were only three sections, but the program has since grown to fourteen. LT's program is nationally recognized not just for its size, but also for the success of its alumni. #WeAreLT ✈

I went to college at 17 years old …. I wish I was held back or started school later. The player I was as a senior in high school to my college freshman year was drastically different.
What are we doing?

I just watched a talk where the specialist said that boys should start school a year later than girls because they are a year behind emotionally.
What are we doing?
