Spirit of Excellence

Celebrating our 2026 Honorees

The LPEF established the Spirit of Excellence awards to support and recognize the accomplishments of Lake Park students, staff and alumni.

Distinguished alumni, staff, and students will be honored at the annual Lake Park Spirit of Excellence Celebration Dinner on Thursday, April 16 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Medinah Shriners Banquet center.

The distinguished alumni receiving the Spirit of Excellence Award for their outstanding career achievements and accomplishments in life are Jason Fangusaro (Class of 1991) and Guido Lavorata (Class of 1974).

The four staff members receiving the Spirit of Excellence Awards:

Legacy Award: Terri Svendsen
Connect Award: Brittany Knight, Melissa Cicora
Humanitarian Award: Tracy Fink

Thirty seniors are being recognized for their service, extraordinary effort, achievement and leadership throughout their high school years. These students were selected because they possess qualities for other students to emulate and have achieved special accomplishments in addition to their academic success while at Lake Park.
