These young women continue to prove that hard work, discipline, and determination matter. Competing at this level takes grit, confidence, and countless hours of preparation, and we could not be more proud of the way they represent the Northside.

Now, they are STATE BOUND.

Congratulations to Chelsea Turner, Jayla Smith, Terriona Bolden, and Alliyah Powell on qualifying for the IHSA State Track & Field Meet. We know they will compete with heart, speed, and NORTHSIDE PRIDE, and we cannot wait to cheer them on as they take the track against the best in Illinois.

PAWS UP! GO LIONS!

Mrs. Hubbard and her senior students recently visited The Springfield Project Community Development & Coworking Space, also known as CAP 1908, for the fourth time this school year. During previous visits, students explored projects connected to entrepreneurship and innovation.

This visit focused on discovering more about Springfield’s history and culture through the city’s murals and public art. Students toured several murals throughout Springfield, discussed what they learned and observed, and returned to CAP 1908 for reflection and lunch together.

It was a great opportunity for students to learn more about the history, creativity, and stories found right here in their own hometown.

We would like to thank Mr. Jordan for his amazing photography skills that helped capture pictures of our students with the different murals around Springfield!

Lanphier students had an amazing experience yesterday with a very special guest, Lanphier alum Julio Barranzuela, Class of 1995. In timely fashion with Cinco de Mayo, our Spanish students learned salsa from Julio, now the owner of Salsa 29. He teaches salsa dancing across the United States and shared how dance can promote health, education, and cultural connection while bringing energy and fun to the classroom. We are always proud to welcome alumni back into our building and grateful to Julio for sharing his time, talent, and passion with our students. Once a Lion, always a Lion! 🦁
