Mundelein High School will host a “Friday Night Lights” event on Friday, April 17 from 8 to 9 p.m. at the athletic field and throughout the community.

From 8 to 9 pm the athletic stadium lights will be turned on in support of students and community groups. Residents may participate by turning on their front porch lights and even posting a sign on their front doors or windows if they would like. Students, parents and community members are welcome to put their jerseys, uniforms, any MHS spirit wear,  photos, etc. on their front doors or windows as well to show support for the many groups listed below.

Administrators will dedicate each of the four light posts to different groups through social media. The dedications will include:

Pole #1 – First responders, doctors, nurses, scientists working to keep everyone healthy

Pole #2 – Mundelein community for being resilient and caring for each other during this crisis.

Pole #3 – All MHS athletes, band, choir, theatre, art students, clubs and activities. We are missing and craving to see all of your performances and events!

Pole #4 – MHS Class of 2020. You are a special group of students. We are sorry your academic, athletic and extra-curricular events have been cut short but your impact on society is just beginning. We miss you.

“The COVID-19 Virus may have stolen our spring school year from us, but it won’t diminish our support for all MHS students,” said Anthony Kroll, principal.  “Join us on Friday, April 17, for Friday Night Lights!”

Students and adults should not go to the high school during that time. Continue to practice social distancing and stay safe.
