Congratulations to Señora Diaz for being named the 2025 Regional Office of Education #11 Recognition of Excellence Award Recipient for Tuscola CUSD 301. She's as good as it gets in foreign language education. Balancing large section numbers yet still being able to connect with individual students. Furthermore, she's an excellent advocate and source of support for so many of our students and families!

TCHS senior, Dayne Lough, just recently finished his 2nd year at LIFT in Mattoon. McLain Schaefer, the Director of LIFT, had this to say about him--"Dayne has been a tremendous asset to us at LIFT. Not only is Dayne our first HVAC Youth Apprentice but has set the standard in our program even going as far as to lead some of the training for our current students. To say we are proud is an understatement." Please see the video below to learn more about Dayne's plan and story. The video was created by Cooper Spencer who is a student at Mattoon High School and is also enrolled at LIFT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNx1XCfnb6M&list=PLsyQn2_3cJmT5bT1iT0m7yN4XKHAE3k4s&index=3
