Great Night at the Morton Distance Gala. We took 14 guys and each guy was in one race. All 14 guys set personal records in their race!! We had 3 runners (Mika, Aiden, and Danny) finish in the top 5 in the 3200 and Darwin won the 1600 setting a new meet record with a time of 4:17.75. It was an amazing Saturday Night for the Trojans Track team!!
We are very proud of our JH track athletes. Their hard work is showing. Many ribbons were earned today. We even had first and second place finishers for both shot put and discus for 8th grade girls.

Today the Elmwood FFA heled their yearly petting zoo. A bunch of kids came down and were able to see all the different animals and hold and pet them. There were goats, snakes, lizard, chickens, a cow, a tractor and ducks. All the kids had fun looking at and petting the different animals and it was very successful. #EHSindustrial arts #TheTrojanWay #ElmwoodFFA

We are excited to announce Dick Taylor as our April Community Member of the Month for his outstanding service, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the Elmwood community.
When a devastating tornado struck Elmwood in 2010, Dick stepped forward without hesitation. Drawing on his background in construction and business, he became a vital part of the city’s recovery efforts. He played a key role in assessing the damage to our town, helped develop a comprehensive economic recovery plan, and supported the establishment of a TIF district that spurred critical improvements in our downtown—including streetscaping and façade enhancements that revitalized the heart of our community.
Dick’s compassion extended beyond city limits as he offered guidance and support to the residents of Washington, Illinois, following their own tornado disaster. His insight and leadership served as a source of strength during a time of great uncertainty.
As a longtime member of the Elmwood Community Foundation, Dick has been a tireless advocate for community enrichment. From helping secure Lorado Taft artifacts that celebrate our cultural heritage, to spearheading the creation of the Sweetwater walking path, his efforts have left a lasting legacy.
Currently, Dick is leading efforts to bring a YMCA Wellness Center to Elmwood—working closely with surrounding communities and organizations to build support and raise the necessary funds for this transformative project. In addition, he has helped spearhead the new Industrial Arts Program at our school through his management of the Claude Keefer Memorial Account, including the purchase of a new car lift to expand our program next year.
Through every initiative, Dick Taylor has demonstrated what it means to lead with vision, generosity, and heart. It is our honor to present him with this award in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the community. Dick has demonstrated examples of The Trojan Way for decades in our community! Join me in congratulating Dick on being the recipient of the April Community Member of the Month! #TheTrojanWay
