Before we introduce the starting lineups, we’d like for you to meet our special teacher guest for tonight’s game. L-O-H-S is proud of our athletes, not only on the field but also in the classroom. Academics and athletics go hand in hand in the lives of our students. Before some of our home games, we ask a senior player to honor a faculty member who has influenced her in reaching classroom goals and has enriched her days here at Lake Orion High School. Tonight, our senior in the spotlight is Alicia Tirpak, and her faculty honoree is Sheldon Weintrob.

Mr. Weintrob attended Eastern Michigan/Wayne State University after graduating from Cooley High School in 1968.

-Degree(s) Education/Psychology/Sociology

-Years at LOHS 34 years

-Class(es) The classes that Alicia had with Mr. Weintrob were Psychology/Sociology

Here’s what Alicia had to say about Mr. Weintrob

Mr. Weintrob is one of the teachers that has helped me grow up the most. He constantly pushes me to strive for the best and to never give up. He was part of the reason that I applied for U of M because he assured me I had a shot at getting in, and for that I am so grateful. He is one of the most genuine teachers I have ever had who truly cares about what I do in the future. The day that Mr. Weintrob retires is a sad day for Lake Orion because they are losing one of the best teachers they have.

Ladies and gentleman, please help us thank tonight”s senior player Alicia Tirpak, and her honored faculty member, Mr. Sheldon Weintrob.
