Proud Moment for Lincoln-Way East
This past March, Lincoln-Way East partnered with the Chemical Industry Council of Illinois (CICI) to host a Career Expo that reached over 2,500 Griffins, connecting students with professionals and real-world career pathways.
The idea for the expo began when Chemistry teacher Ms. Carlie Premo attended a CICI conference at the Museum of Science & Industry—and it quickly turned into something special.
Because of the expo’s success, Lincoln-Way East was honored with a Special Recognition Award from CICI, presented here and soon to be proudly displayed in our Main Office and Science Department.
Thank you to CICI, Ms. Premo, and all of our partners for investing in our students and their futures.
