The Lincoln-Way High School District announced in August that it will close its north campus high school at the conclusion of the 2015-16 school year. When North faced neighboring Richards High School in a Week 1 football tilt, Richards High School teacher and cheerleading coach Crystal Miguez and her squad showed the Phoenix cheer squad that they were thinking of and supporting the Lincoln-Way North students during their final year there.

The Richards cheerleading squad presented the Lincoln-Way North cheer team with a frame picture pictured below that reads in part: “Do not be sad because it is coming to an end. Be happy because it happened.”, along with a heartfelt note of support.
