The Leyden Eagles Class of 2026 kicked off Homecoming Week with a special Senior Sunrise celebration. This tradition brings the senior class together at the start of their final year, offering a chance to reflect, connect, and make memories as the sun rises on their last year at Leyden. Students enjoyed coffee, donuts, and plenty of fun while sharing this meaningful moment with classmates.

The Boys Golf team had a strong showing at the Western Suburban Conference (WSC) Gold Division Meet, finishing in 3rd place overall. Congratulations to Filip Kretowicz and Patrick Drwal, who were named All-Conference Medalists for their outstanding performance.
