LOCKPORT, IL — At the LTHS Board of Education meeting on Monday, several student board members were sworn in.
This is the fourth year of the District's Student Board Member program, which started in the 2023-24 school year, the District said.
Four seniors were sworn in to serve during the 2026–27 school year:
• Julia Mulles and Dayton Barrett – Student Board of Education Members, attending all formal monthly Board meetings as well as special meetings or workshops as needed.
• Tyler Montague– Student Board Member serving on the Finance and Facilities Committee.
• Brett Alfaro– Student Board Member serving on the Curriculum Committee.
In April, 29 students applied for the program, and in May, an
administrative team and Board subcommittee reviewed applications and selected 10 finalists for interviews with the Board of Education. Following the interview process, the Board selected the four students to serve as Student Board Members and Committee Members for the 2026–27 school year, the District said.
Starting this month, Julia and Dayton will record a monthly video recap that highlights key takeaways from Board meetings and will share it directly with the student body.
