The Lincoln-Way Central yearbook staff earned national recognition with their 2025 yearbook’s inclusion in Possibilities, volume 11, an educational and inspirational hardcover yearbook collection by Walsworth Yearbooks that highlights and celebrates outstanding journalism programs from across the country.

Over 6,000 yearbooks were reviewed, with only the top 10% hand-selected to be featured inside Possibilities based on their strong storytelling, creative design, impactful photography and cohesive theme development.

Lincoln-Way Central High School was featured in the Honorable Mention category for its exceptional work in capturing the spirit of the school year.

The yearbook staff, led by adviser, Mr. Steve Proutsos and Mr. Chris Fetherling, worked throughout the year to plan coverage, refine layouts and ensure every student’s story was told with accuracy and creativity. Their efforts resulted in a publication that stands out on a national level. Special recognition goes to our 2025 senior editor, Gillian Rauch, and our editors Evie Duszka, Anika Gaydos, Brooke Lieberstein, and Ally Sanders.

The Lincoln-Way Central High School yearbook rose through the ranks thanks to their tireless pursuit of excellence and through specialized training events at local conferences.

The Aegis yearbook staff is currently working on their 2026 edition. The 2026 volume promises to continue their tradition of documenting the moments, milestones and memories that define their school community.
