 The wall, located in the LJHS Commons, recognizes
notable District 27 graduates. Its purpose is to promote pride in
Lincoln and District 27 as well as to provide positive role models
for current and future students.
Those who wish to nominate an honoree may contact Jean Lynn by email
at jlynn@Lincoln27.net. Nomination forms are also available at the
District Office, 304 Eighth Street or by calling the office at
217.732.2522. Nominations are due by March 27, 2015.
Individuals nominated will be considered for recognition this year,
and those not selected will be considered in future years. Honored
graduates will be selected by a committee consisting of members of
the Board of Education, teachers, and members of the community.
District 27 is proud of the contributions its graduates have made at
the local, state, and national levels in law, medicine, education,
engineering, religion, business, and the arts. The District has
helped establish the educational foundations for their
accomplishments and believes the graduates and their achievements
are worthy of recognition.
