Let’s hear it for former Wildcat and 2024 high school graduate Melina Knickelbein who graduated from Lyons Township High School. She will be attending DePaul University to major in K-12 Physical Education with a minor in Health Education & Dance Endorsement. Her dream is to start a dance program at a high school where one doesn’t already exist.
She was a part of the graduation ceremony and took part in SIGNing (American Sign Language) the National Anthem after taking four years of ASL. She has also completed her sixteenth summer dance recital and enjoyed being a part of the Eurythmics Dance Company at LT. She has assisted and taught dance classes at the Dance Center of La Grange. Congratulations Melina and we are so excited that you want to pursue a career in education!


We love celebrating the Class of 2024, but we are also looking ahead to celebrating the Class of 2037. We can’t wait to start your educational journey! #d60learns

The Class of 2024 has all graduated by now, but we can still check in with former Wildcats and see what they are up to! If you want to share a former Maercker D60 student to highlight, reach out to d60communications@maercker.org.
Traivon Womack graduated from Homewood-Flossmoor High School where he did well academically, grew into a strong writer, and took honors classes while also competing in Lacrosse and Cross Country. He was a member of the National Honor Society and received multiple academic scholarships and will be attending Loyola University. He says that his time at Westview Hills was a major reason why he has always been ready to take on academic challenges and sent a special thank you out to Ms. Radke.
