We love our Warriors coaching Warriors. Coach Flaherty is our first individual State Champion in school history. She is now coaching our girls bowling team at State. When she says she knows what you are going through, she truly does. Good luck to the team, Coach Ullian and Coach Flaherty! 🧡🖤🎳

Lincoln-Way West staff kicked off the day with a fantastic AM session featuring retired District 210 administrator, Tim Reilly! The session began with a review of the practice ACT results from our West Test Day, followed by Mr. Reilly's expert strategies on tackling ACT-style questions and helping students manage time pressure for the upcoming April ACT. Mr. Reilly, who retired as the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for Lincoln-Way District 210 in 2018, shared invaluable insights with our staff. We appreciated his time and expertise! #LeadTheWay
