LHS SOS Seeks to Preserve 100+ Years of LHS Stories

LHS SOS is an organization whose sole focus is to preserve the over 100 years of history at Libertyville High School. Thanks to a generous donation and school funds, we have already digitized our entire collection of Nautilus (yearbook) and Drops of Ink (student newspaper). When you donate to LHS SOS, you’ll be funding the displays and digital maintenance of an archive that will be fully searchable and available to the public on the web. We're also seeking to better archive, preserve, and display our physical artifacts, starting with our newspapers and yearbooks, but also other pieces of LHS history, like memorabilia, uniforms, playbills, and more! Other future projects include digitizing fine arts performances, assemblies, athletic contests, and awards ceremonies.

Questions? Contact Kevin O'Neill at [email protected]

Thank you for Saving Our Story!

VHHS wrapped up the first week of the new school year with its first Fun Friday! Students made the most of their lunchtime “recess,” which included 9-Square in the Air, bags, checkers, music, giant Jenga, popsicles, a visit from Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck, and the chance to dunk a teacher in the dunk tank!

Fun Fridays have become a special VHHS tradition. Hosted quarterly by Prevention and Wellness, they give students a chance to relax, connect and have some fun together.

VHHS Art Students Create Portraits for Students in India Through the Memory Project

Last Spring, VHHS art students in Allison Molloy's Drawing and Painting Studio class put their passion and artistic skills into rendering portraits for children in India who have been displaced from their families in some way and live with foster mothers while attending a common school. This project satisfies the Global Scholars course artifact and reflection for Drawing and Painting Studio.

Molloy explained: Through our partnership with the non-profit The Memory Project, which has partnered with orphanages across India, we aim to help offer these children both hope and global connections through personal, artistic creations. Our departmental funding of The Memory Project through creating artwork helps provide these children with food, education, and seeds for a positive future, in addition to the hand-painted portrait each child receives. VHHS art students participated in creating these portraits as outreach to offer these children kindness, respect, personal encouragement, and joy.
