Over 300 people attended Lincoln Park High School's 'Lion Pride' Gala on Friday, April 1st at St. George Greek Orthodox Church. Featuring treats supplied by Lettuce Entertain You, Delightful Pastries, and Chez Moi, the event raised crucial funds to support our neighborhood high school. The program featured a performance by the LPHS award winning jazz band, chamber choir, and dramatic scenes acted out by the theater department. As principal Mike Boraz said, "Lincoln Park High School is where
teachers help students make their dreams comes true."
