Lemont High School Honors November 2025 Students Of The Month

LEMONT, IL —Four Lemont High School students were honored with November Student of the Month accolades at the district’s Board of Education meeting on Nov. 17. LHS said the honorees were senior Lily Crowther (Music), junior Edvin Morochin (Mathematics), sophomore Charlie Brandt (Business) and freshman Taylor Thorsness (Science).

Each month, Lemont High School honors a student from each grade level for hard work and dedication to the school and the community. Selections rotate among the school’s various departments from month to month. Only 32 students earn Student of the Month accolades each school year, with four individuals honored each month from October through May, the school said. Students may be selected for this honor only once in their careers at Lemont High School.

Local businessman Brad Grcevic, of Edward Jones, Inc. (Lemont), contributes a donation each month to a charity selected by the award winners. This month’s winners selected the American Cancer Society to receive the donation.
