The Crookston High School Leo Club and Linda Morgan, Leo Club Advisor, along with the Crookston School District, were recently awarded the Leo Club Award of Excellence for the school year 2024-2025. What makes the Crookston Leo Club special is that this is the 35th time the club has received this award in a row. No club in the world has ever been selected 35 times in a row for the Award of Excellence by Lions International.
The Leo Club was organized 35 years ago, on January 24, 1991. The Crookston Public School District has supported the position of Leo Club Advisor, which has been one of the keys to the Club’s unique history of success. Mary Ann Odland was the first advisor, Molly Simmons was an advisor for a short stint and no Linda Morgan has been the advisor for the past 15 years. The continued dedication of the youth of this community to serving their community while building leadership for today and tomorrow has made a lasting impact on Crookston, the local school district, and Leo members.
