Dear Lancer Families,
We are very proud of our growth and accomplishments this year, and grateful for your support of our students and community. Over the past three years at La Follette, we have seen growth in our graduation rates for all students, and specifically for African American and Hispanic students. We know this is an outcome of our hard work to build positive relationships, encourage and engage students in learning, and provide individualized supports. We know this is a growth journey that we are on together. We have a long way to go, but we are encouraged by our success, and thankful for the support we give each other.

First Annual Schuster Prizes Awarded at Read-A-Latte
|
The first annual Robert M. Schuster Prose Prize was awarded on Friday May 25th as part of Read-a-Latte, our all-day annual Library Celebration. Junior Majenta Stuntebeck won the $3000 First Prize for her essay "On Behalf of Quiet," while senior Cammy Carver won the $1000 Second Prize for her short story "Crossroads." This year's theme was "Imagine." Four students won Honorable Mention: Althea Anderson, Jenny Littel, Dija Manly, and Maddie Zwergel.
The award was made possible through the generosity of David Benjamin (Class of '67, and friend of Bob Schuster, Class of '66) and Kathleen Schuster, Mr. Schuster's widow. La Follette English teachers Andrew McCuaig and Keri Hornung organized and implemented this wonderful new La Follette tradition!

Wishing Lancer Retirees a Warm and Found Farewell
|
|
La Follette will be saying farewell to four outstanding educators this summer. Steve Palmiter, Physical Education, Richard Wagner, English, Lisa Endicott, English as a Second Language, and Rachel Gallagher, Nurse will be moving on, however, both will always be Lancers.
|
|
Steve Palmiter
has been a fundamental part of the LaFollette community for 30 years. His dedication to a productive Physical Education and Health program have worked to mold our community. The hard work and dedication to our Challenges and Adventure programs have created leaders in our community. Steve coached swimming for over 19 years working long hard hours to improve aquatics across Dane County. Steve has had a positive long lasting affect on many students and teachers across the Madison community and will be greatly missed. Best of luck in all your adventures to come!

Congratulations to
Richard Wagner
for his many years of service in teaching and best of luck in retirement. Richard has been teaching here at LHS for 15 years of his long and varied career that has included teaching on several continents! He leaves behind a legacy of trying to instill a love of reading with his students and helping students to find their passion through literature and writing about reactions to literature. He pushes his kids to consider the 5% that touches the soul. He also leaves behind a room full of books that are free for the taking! Richard plans on reading, traveling, playing music, and building his skills in boat making. Best of luck Richard. You will be missed.

Lisa Endicott
has been instrumental in forming the Multilingual Education Department's strong foundation. She was one of the key original members and has taught everything from Study Skills to Read 180 to ESL Health to Honors Biology. Her plethora of certifications, her steadfast support of students, and her compassionate support for her colleagues makes her irreplaceable.
|
|
|
Rachel Gallagher
has been such a valuable member of the student services team. She is direct with students when educating them about medications, mental and physical health. As a team member, she has always offered valuable insight about how students health needs affect their academic performance. Over the years she has provided invaluable consultation about a wide breadth of student issues. Her sense of humor, knowledge and care with staff and students will be greatly missed. All of our best on your next phase of life!!!
