The Lancer Wall of Excellence recognizes staff, alumni, and friends of the La Crescent-Hokah School District who have contributed significantly to the community. This year we are thrilled to celebrate the induction of Chris Fortsch and Tom Unangst. Chris Fortsch is a 1997 La Crescent graduate, she has dedicated countless hours to local organizations including the Lions Club, La Crescent Applefest, Applefest Alumni, Lancer Booster Club, La Crescent Live and more. Her tireless volunteerism continues to leave a lasting impact across the school district and community. Tom Unangst was a social studies teacher for 34 years. He retired from La Crescent-Hokah School District in 2015. During his time at La Crescent- Hokah, Tom worked hard to make sure students were connected to the community and the community was connected with the students. He was an integral part of starting the highly innovative cross-curricular course, River Studies. Tom earned several awards for his work in education, but his greatest achievement was his lasting impact on students, staff and families throughout his career.
