LTHS Board Picks New President

LA GRANGE, IL – The Lyons Township High School board picked a new leader Monday.

Dawn Aubert, who was elected two years ago, was selected by the board to serve as its president for the next two years. Before becoming a member in 2021, she was a member of the La Grange District 102 board for eight years.

Member Kari Dillon has been the Lyons Township High School president for the last two years.

Aubert was nominated by member Jill Grech to serve as president. Aubert was the only nominee.

Grech, who joined the board in 2021, was elected to serve as the board's vice president and new member Tim Albores as the secretary.

The board's reorganizational meeting was originally set for last Monday, but it was canceled. The board has not revealed the reason for the cancellation, but it may be connected to a fight earlier that same day that sent one student to the hospital.

At Monday's meeting, the board also adopted a resolution in honor of departing member Alison Kelly, who decided against running for a second term. Kelly said she had enjoyed the job.

"Every decision that's made at LT that I've seen has always been student-focused," Kelly said. "That's not something we ever have to remind each other of."
