In spite of the raindrops falling on their heads, on Friday morning the students of the Lincoln Community High School Student Government proudly unveiled the new street sign designating the portion of the road in front of their school and the Lincoln Park District as "Railer Way.”

In support of the students at LCHS in general, and the Railer Basketball Team specifically, the city of Lincoln chose to re-name a short section of Primm Road, Railer Way. Mayor Keith Snyder made the announcement to the students on March 22, as part of the Railer Basketball homecoming celebration. The Railer basketball team made school history this year, coming in first runner up in their class at state Illinois High School Association competition.

Included in the photos above are members of the student government with their sponsor Chris Hammer, Principal Todd Poelker, and the Railers’ number one fan, Tim McDougal.
