Springfield and Central Illinois African American History Museum collected our student's artwork and then had the pieces professionally framed and hung to create an exhibit at the museum.
All of the pieces of art were either created by an African American artist or they depict the African American experience.
We appreciate the AAHM & their commitment to showcasing our students' work in celebrating Black History.
You can visit the gallery February 18th - March 31st, Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 pm - 4:00 p.m.

A beautiful bench was dedicated and two trees were planted in Lincoln Park in honor of Chuck Flamini. Lanphier High School teacher, Scott Metzke, collected donations from current and former LHS staff to purchase the bench and trees. Yesterday ,friends and family gathered for the dedication at Lincoln Park. Chuck left his mark on our community as a friend, teacher, union activist, school administrator and school board member. You can visit the Flamini bench in Lincoln park right beside the playground area. "I picked this spot because it faces towards Lanphier High School" said Scott Metzke.
