Lake Forest, IL – Lake Forest High School (LFHS) is excited to announce a generous donation from Classic Toyota of Waukegan. Fred Marks, the owner of Classic Toyota and a Lake Forest resident, has donated a 2012 Dodge Charger to the school’s Safety and Security Department. This donation will enhance the department’s ability to patrol the campus and support the safety of students, staff, and community members throughout the school day and at after-school events.

Fred Marks, a parent of three Lake Forest High School students (LFHS 2017, 2020, and 2025), has maintained a close connection with LFHS Safety and Security Department Assistant John “JT” Teichman. Marks and Teichman first met in Libertyville when Marks was a teenage football and baseball player coached by Teichman. Their bond has remained strong over the years. Fred’s desire to support the community and his former coach has inspired him to make this meaningful donation.

“We are immensely grateful to Fred Marks and Classic Toyota for their continued generosity,” said Dr. Matthew L. Montgomery, Superintendent of Lake Forest Schools. “This donation represents not only a significant addition to our security resources but also the strong community ties that help make Lake Forest a wonderful place for our students.”

“I appreciate his thoughtfulness and that Fred cares about everyone at the school,” shared John Teichman. “Through our lifelong friendship, I’ve known him as a young man and have seen him mature into a well-rounded man, just a very good person.”

This is the third vehicle Classic Toyota has donated to LFHS, further strengthening the partnership between the school and the local dealership. Fred Marks took extra care to inspect and prepare the vehicle before donating it, ensuring it was ready to serve the school at no cost.

“This vehicle will be a valuable tool for our team,” said Chuck Walsh, Director of Safety and Security at LFHS. “We are fortunate to have strong community support that directly impacts our ability to maintain a safe campus.”
