Staff Spotlight! Get to know your LMS Staff!
Greg DiLeo, Teacher
Place of Birth: Elizabeth, NJ
Years at Lincoln: 27
Favorite Educator: Mr. Lynch Chemistry at Esperanza High School, Anaheim, CA. Fun teacher who enjoyed his subject and had fun with his students. Was tough on grading, held everyone accountable but was always willing to help. Also had an awesome camping trip up to the Kern River where he would take a huge group of students and alumni. His name was Greg too...
Fun Fact: In 1976 while I was in 6th grade I worked at Disneyland and was Michael Banks in the Mary Poppins unit and would ride on a rooftop float and wave to the crowd to the song Chim Chimeny.

Your cooperation ensures a smooth and safe traffic environment for all. Thank you for your understanding and assistance in maintaining a positive and efficient parking experience.
