LHS Senior Cited As Honorable Mention For IHSA All-State Academic Team

LEMONT, IL — Lemont High School senior Martin Kaminski has been cited as an honorable mention selection to the 2023-24 IHSA All-State Academic Team, according to a release from the District.

Hundreds of student-athletes from across the state were nominated for consideration by their schools. Kaminski is just the sixth Lemont student-athlete to be named to either the all-state team or as an honorable mention selection, LHS said.

The IHSA’s 2023-24 All-State Academic Team includes 26 student-athletes - 13 male and 13 female - who embody what it means to take advantage of the entire high school experience. In addition to those 26 honored students, 50 more are cited as honorable mention picks, according to a release from the school.

The All-State Academic Team was honored at a banquet in Bloomington on April 8.

Kaminski has been active in both athletics and extracurricular activities during his prep career. A high honor roll student who has maintained a grade point average of better than 4.10, he has challenged himself in the classroom with a series of honors classes and four Advanced Placement courses, the school said.

Kaminski earned AP Scholar accolades, thanks to his performance on AP exams through his junior year.

Kaminski was part of both the football and boys’ track and field programs for four seasons, and is a South Suburban Conference All-Academic honoree. He was a member of SSC Blue champion football teams as both a junior and senior.

Kaminski contributed to Junior Achievement for two years and earned induction to both the National Honor Society and Rho Kappa National Social Studies Honor Society. Kaminski has served as President of the National Honor Society as a senior, and spearheaded efforts for the organization’s “Lemont v. Hunger” event that led to more than 100,000 meals being packed on May 11 to benefit the West Suburban Food Pantry, according to the school.

Kaminski plans to attend Indiana University.
