Over the last year, I have been working with our booster club to decorate our 8th grade hallway with murals and photos depicting the incredible history of this middle school with its transition from Lombard College.  While doing so, I kept coming across amazing stories and facts about this campus that had been forgotten.  I decided to compile all of this information, so it is never lost again and it can be shared amongst the Lombard Community.  

I LOVE this school, and I LOVE being a small part of this legacy.  Please feel free to check this out and help spread this information.  If you are a part of the Lombard Community, than you are a part of this heritage! 

Our booster club has been working very hard to raise money to continue decorating our 8th grade hallway.  Over this last weekend, we were able to have a very large mural painted.  The student's had no idea this work was getting done, and their reactions this morning were AWESOME!

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project, and it is so exciting to begin seeing our vision become a reality!

Lombard Community! - With the completion of the end of the 1st quarter, I have been able to look at some academic and disciplinary data to share with my staff.  The information below is outstanding, and this is a testament to the fantastic students and teachers here at this school.  If you have a child at Lombard, they are a part of this exciting news!

The table below shows how many office referrals and failing grades per students we currently have.  Being 25% done with the school year we are on pace for some exciting results:
