Whether it's athletics, meeting lifelong friends, or memories
of homecoming and prom, it's easy for many of us to look
back and say we had a memorable high school experience. It is,
however, something altogether different to return to your high
school as a member of the faculty or staff to help others have
those same experiences.
While close to three decades may separate their Tinley Park High
School (TPHS) graduation dates, Dr. Theresa Nolan, a 1988 alum,
and Taylor Hudek, a 2017 alum, share immense pride in their work
with students at TPHS, as well as being able to call themselves
once again – Titans.
Dr. Theresa Nolan has been TPHS' principal for 16 years. Majoring
in English with a minor in Physical Education, Nolan graduated
from Eastern Illinois University and accepted her first teaching
and coaching position at Lincoln-Way High School in 1993. The
following year she had the chance to once again walk the halls
of TPHS as a member of the faculty, and as a basketball and
volleyball coach.
