Then & Now (1965 - 2025)
60 years apart, 2 generations of Lyons Lions football players captured in the same moment: gearing up for practice, putting in the work, and carrying the pride of Lyons on their shoulders. This recreated photo of our football team reminds us that pride isn’t just in the games we play, but in the dedication, preparation, and teamwork that have carried on through generations.

Generations may change, but the bond of being a Lion lasts forever. Once a Lion, always a Lion.

Join us to celebrate your Lyons Legacy this Friday night, September 26th, at Yard Fest, followed by the Homecoming football game.

Our LCSD Team went the extra mile to make the first day of school even more special at Lyons Elementary School! Over the weekend, several staff members came together with their own families to decorate the sidewalks with colorful chalk art. From cheerful messages to fun drawings, they turned it into a family project that welcomed students with warmth and excitement. What a beautiful way to kick off the school year! Stay tuned for pictures from the first day of school! #LYPride #leadlikealion #lcsdteam #welcomeback #1stdayofschool

🎓 Kicking off Graduation Week with LCSD Pride! 🎓 Just over a week ago, the Class of 2025 participated in the heartwarming tradition of the Senior Walk, marking the beginning of their final chapter at Lyons Central School District. Led by our Valedictorian and Salutatorian, seniors made their way from the high school to the elementary building, escorted by the Lyons Fire Department and Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. As they entered the halls, they were greeted by roaring cheers, handmade signs, high fives, and in many cases, heartfelt hugs from family members and former teachers. This special moment is more than a celebration—it's a powerful reflection of community, mentorship, and LCSD pride. Let the countdown to graduation begin! #LYPride #LeadLikeALion #TheRoarContinues #LCSDClassOf2025 #SeniorWalk
