Demolition at Lincoln Middle School is underway!

Demolition at Lincoln Middle School is underway!

The construction, which will result in a partial renovation and rebuild of the building, was made possible by the $100 million zero-tax-rate-increase bond referendum passed last spring by the District #7 community. The construction will keep the original 1925 portion of the school building intact. Over the decades, Lincoln Middle School has undergone various additions, which has led to different floor levels that require steep stairs to get from one area of the building to another. The renovations and rebuilding will help improve the navigability of the school.

Superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton had the honor of taking down the first bricks. #d7proud

Diversity Day at the Futures, presented by McConne

Diversity Day at the Futures, presented by McConnell and Associates, returned for a third straight year at Liberty Middle School on Wednesday morning. The event is held as part of the Edwardsville Futures Tennis Tournament, presented by the EGHM Foundation.

Dave Lipe, tournament director and EHS tennis coach, organizes Diversity Day to help expose minority and underprivileged students to the sport of tennis and help engage them in a sport they may not typically be able to play.

The students in attendance were able to learn more about tennis and had a great time playing the game itself. #d7proud
