About this Article

A little known and largely forgotten piece of Naperville Central High Schools history has been cleaned up and is ready to be showcased thanks to a sentimental administrator and a few class gifts. When Naperville Central was renovated in recent years, Lynne Nolan, dean for student activities, fought to save a roughly 10-by-6 feet mural. It's believed to be the work of historic local artist Les Schrader.
