The Lansing High School Baseball program continues its 1st Pitch Club tradition this season, recognizing individuals who have made a meaningful difference in the Lansing community.
The 1st Pitch Club was created to honor those who help make Lansing a place people are proud to call home. Throughout the season, the high school baseball staff invites military veterans, first responders, USD 469 staff members, and community members with a lasting legacy to throw out a ceremonial first pitch before games.
At a recent game, the program recognized Mona Hauver as the evening’s honoree.
Mona has been a member of USD 469 for 18 years, serving in a variety of roles that have made a lasting impact on students and staff. Over the years, she has coached both swimming and diving, sponsored the Lionettes, and served as the Lansing Educational Foundation (LEF) representative at the high school.
Currently, Mona leads the district’s business office and accounting operations. In addition, she continues to stay actively involved at Lansing High School as a Student Council sponsor alongside Stephanie Hawks, helps organize the High School Social Club, and assists with major community events such as the 5K and LEF Rugged 5K.
Mona and her husband, Rich, have deep roots in the community, having called Lansing home for 29 years. Together, they have raised five children - Megan Seebeck, Jessica McIntyre, Abby Hauver, Bobby Hauver, and Elle Linafelter - each of whom graduated from Lansing schools.
The Hauver family legacy continues to grow, with 15 grandchildren and counting, five of whom have already attended Lansing schools.
The Lansing High School Baseball program is proud to recognize Mona Hauver for her years of service, leadership, and dedication to the students, staff, and families of USD 469. Her impact continues to shape the Lansing community in meaningful ways.
