LPHS Hall of Honor
Hall of Honor: Consistent with its commitment to excellence, LaSalle-Peru Township High School District 120 administration and Board of Education approved creating a Hall of Honor in 2017. The focus of the Hall of Honor is to recognize excellence in achievement, be it academic, artistic, athletic, or general distinguished achievement while a high school student, after leaving high school, or a combination of both. Furthermore, honorees may have attended LPHS, or may have never attended LPHS but were significant and accomplished contributors that have been associated with the school.
Purpose: The purpose of the Hall of Honor is to highlight the accomplishments of inductees with the intention that current students will be inspired by the standard of excellence and accomplishment achieved by their predecessors.
