This special evening honored the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and recognized our local first responders, active-duty servicemen & women, and veterans.
Mayor Wehrli joined us as honorary captain for the coin toss, and the Lima Lima Flight Team delivered an unforgettable flyover. 🇺🇸

Today, Huskies signed their names on a steel beam.
Next week, that beam goes into the wall of our new addition — and those signatures stay there for as long as the building stands. Students, staff, families, alumni. Names nobody will ever see again, holding up a building thousands of people will walk through every day.
That new space will serve students, 36 programs, thousands of student-athletes, and every PE student at Naperville North. A weight room with turf training surface. A cardio space. New classrooms. And a multipurpose room.
Thank you to the @Naperville203 Board of Education and administration for the vision to make this happen, and for seeing what it could mean for every student who comes through our doors.
Thank you to @wightco and @PepperConstruct, and to every trade partner whose work is in that steel.
And thank you to everyone who came out today. This one's yours.

Honored to be inducted into the IL Boys Lacrosse Association HOF. Lacrosse has been a huge part of my life, & I’m grateful for the players, coaches, colleagues, friends, & family who have been part of this journey. This recognition reflects all of you as much as it does me.
Congratulations to Kevin Benages on being named to the Illinois Lacrosse Coaches Association Hall of Fame!
Kevin’s impact on lacrosse in Illinois and at Naperville North has been tremendous. As our former Boys Lacrosse Head Coach, Kevin helped build and elevate the Huskie Lacrosse program through his leadership, passion, and commitment to student-athletes.
Today, Kevin continues to make a major impact at NNHS as our Assistant Athletic Director and Strength & Performance Director, serving our students, coaches, and programs across the entire athletic department.
This is an incredibly well-deserved honor for a coach, leader, and Huskie who has given so much to the game and to Naperville North.
Congratulations, Kevin!

We use CMJ testing to guide how our athletes train. A simple jump helps us see how ready the body & nervous system are so we can push when we are fresh & adjust when fatigue is high. It also helps our athletes understand that the choices we make today affect tomorrow. #Compete
Thank you to the IYLL for having me speak! I really enjoyed the opportunity to give back to our lacrosse community of coaches. Wishing everyone the best of luck this spring season! 🥍
Fired up to present on our Dynamic Movement Prep at the Illinois Youth Lacrosse coaches clinic today! If done properly it will increase speed, power, flexibility and bulletproof your body to play more & play better.
