Adieu To Our Retiree

John Vlahogiannis

Teacher & Director of Faculty Development

30 Years

After 30 exemplary years of service, Mr. Vlahogiannis (affectionately referred to as “Mr. V.”) retired at the end of the 2020–2021 academic year. He began at LCC as a social science teacher, eventually took on the role of head of the social science department and, most recently, acted as the director of faculty development. Essentially that means he has been the chief coach and mentor of teachers across all disciplines and divisions. He has helped teachers to explore best practices, hone their skills and craft, and become the best they could be, all in the interest of LCC students. He modelled great variety in his own teaching methods, while integrating effective use of technology in his units and activities. Mr. Vlahogiannis possesses a deep appreciation for the value of ideas and critical thinking. He has been dedicated to equipping students with the tools to succeed and thrive in a complex world and has helped his students to become more interesting people.

Mr. Vlahogiannis was also involved in LCC’s co-curricular activities, coaching basketball and serving as the faculty advisor for Model UN.

He has left his mark on many minds and hearts while positively impacting our school culture. We wish him all the best as he shifts gears and focuses his interests and abilities in new directions.
