This year, as Lincoln Park welcomed back new and old students alike, they also welcomed for the first time a few new staff members. These new staff members range from teachers of math, English, and science, to people who work heavily with the administration.
One of those new additions to the staff of Lincoln Park is our new assistant principal, Jonathan Ludwig.
“I’m actually a working consultant for the National Network of Digital Schools,” said Ludwig. “I was asked in a meeting if I would be interested in [working at Lincoln Park], for the experience.”
His goal here is to work closely with the administration.
“Right now I’m getting to know the building, sitting through lunch, studying the attendance and then talking with the students who are late,” he said. “Just helping out.”
There are also a few new teachers in the academic field. A second Spanish teacher, Donald Wilson; two new math teachers – Sarah Marcy, who teaches Algebra 2, and Jerome Herring, who teaches geometry — and another English teacher, Ed Wesolowski, have all been hired this year, along with a new guidance counselor, Lynn Parr, who has a dual role and is working now as a chemistry teacher. There is also a new addition in the arts. The music department has welcomed instructor Christina Howell, as well.
But as for Ludwig, he’s adjusting to the ever changing environment of Lincoln Park.
“I hope it’s a positive year for everybody,” says Ludwig, “I hope to learn more and help out the administration.”
