Lincoln Community High School stage to be named for Mac McLaughlin
Community invited to ceremony September 18th

 

[September 14, 2017]  LINCOLN - The Board of Education of Lincoln Community High School is proud to announce the stage in the auditorium will officially be named the Dan “Mac” McLaughlin Stage at a ceremony to be held on Monday, September 18 at 6:30 p.m.

All former students, colleagues, and the community are welcome to attend and honor Dan.

Mr. McLaughlin is being honored for his years of service to Lincoln Community High School, where he taught English, Speech, and Literature from 1970 – 1997. His true passion, however, was teaching his students the performing arts. Dan loved acting himself, and he loved to see his students embrace the challenges of acting and succeed.

During his tenure at LCHS, Mr. McLaughlin oversaw an award-winning IHSA Speech program that produced many individual State champions and in 1981, the Speech Team took first place in the Illinois State Tournament. This 1981 victory remains the only team State Championship for LCHS in any IHSA event.

The Board of Education is honored to name this stage after Dan McLaughlin for his dedication to LCHS and our community. Please mark your calendar and help celebrate this special occasion.
