With Central Campus nestled in the middle of Lockport’s historic neighborhoods and East Campus in an adjacent neighborhood, Lockport Township High School knits together the fabric of the community. Our student volunteers put countless hours into local organizations, participate in local events and connect with local businesses, even using our Career, Community Connections Program to plant the seedlings being used by a local hydroponic farm downtown. We appreciate the support of our families and community. “Lockport, in partnership with the communities of Crest Hill and Homer Glen that make up our district, are at the heart of the success our 3,900-student high school enjoys. Marguerite Ruminski, Owner, The Vegan Café “The Lockport community has consistently found interesting and unique ways to support our small businesses, especially as we navigated the pandemic. Whether through the COVID-19 Small Business Grant/Loan program, the outdoor seating the City put in public places or always planning events that surround business with customers, our leaders are committed to caring for each of us. The pandemic has hit my catering and dining restaurant hard and the City stepped up with the ‘Keep our Small Businesses Afloat’ arts program where large businesses that were successful in 2020 sponsored ducks decorated by artists curated by the Illinois State Museum Lockport location. These ducks and an associated passport program with stamps for each location, will then be displayed at small businesses to drive customers into our stores and restaurants. I could not be more proud to be a part of a Lockport community that proactively finds ways to tie events and activities to business success and cannot wait to get my duck after the ribbon cutting this May!” Entry submitted by: Ben Benson, Lance Thies, Lisa Heglund, Brent Cann, Brittni Calderon
