Wa-Hi teachers make sign for Lincoln High School

Earlier this year Walla Walla Public Schools board members approved changing the name of the districts alternative high school from Paine to Lincoln. Recently Wa-Hi Career and Technical Education teachers Dennis DeBroeck and Bob Maib collaborated to create a new sign for the school -- thus covering up the old Paine name.

"Bob spent three straight days building our new Lincoln Alternative High School sign," Principal Jim Sporleder said. "He had it done so that the first day of school the sign was up and our staff and kids were excited about it. He did a beautiful job and wanted our kids to see that we have a lot of support from a lot of people. It was a great gift!"

DeBroeck volunteered to help create the letters for the sign through a computer generated program. Maib spent more than 30 hours of his own time making the sign, according to Sporleder.
