We are absolutely thrilled to extend a huge congratulations to Karen Probst for her well-deserved Award from INSPRA (Illinois Chapter National School Public Relations Association)!
Karen is a powerhouse in our community, serving as an outstanding volunteer for Lake Park High School and an incredible Board Member for the Lake Park Educational Foundation.
She was nominated because she helps in so many capacities! Karen is always the first to show up, always willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed most, and always doing it with a smile.
Thank you, Karen, for everything you do for our students, our staff, and the entire LP community! We are so lucky to have you in our corner.
