ALTON - If Alton High students do not see Senior Lucas Landuyt each morning, they are missing out on a friendly greeting from one of the more beloved students in the school. After starting at Alton High as a shy freshman four years ago, Lucas seems to know the entire student body by name, according to Teacher Christie Rickman and Assistant Principal Vernon Curvey. He will be the first one to say hello to all students by name and if he does not already know them by name, he will introduce himself and learn the name of the student he is meeting. Lucas is the Art Fahrner-Edward Jones Alton High School Remarkable Redbird of the Month. Lucas has been a member of the Alton High Cross Country team for the past two years and has also had success in taking part in Special Olympics.
