Register for 2018 Highlander "Mike Zook Memorial" 5k


Join McLean High School and community in the annual "Mike Zook Memorial" Highlander 5k Run/Walk

Mike Zook came to McLean in 2011 after serving as a teacher at both Lanier middle school and Robinson Secondary School and as an administrator at Hughes middle school.  Even as an administrator, Mike always found a way to be with his students.  He loved walking the halls of McLean and popping into classrooms to check in on how the students were engaged in learning. He enjoyed his annual DECA trips for students to showcase their academic talents.

As a former coach himself, Mike loved to cheer the students on from the sidelines of all the sporting events and offer up words of encouragement and wisdom to the coaches. Mike never hesitated to express his belief in the importance of students participating in extracurricular activities.  He made it his personal mission to help struggling students to graduate and he loved working with teachers who demonstrated that same passion for students.  Most people can’t wait to retire but Mike LOVED his job and LOVED his students; he stayed for them.

Mike and the Zook family will forever be a part of the McLean Highlander Family.  His impact and inspiration will continue to serve students for years to come and his legacy will remain.
