The Lisle Alumni Carlin Nalley Foundation was saddened to learn of the passing of our namesake and inspiration, Carlin "Coach" Nalley earlier today. During this challenging time, we are with his wife Nancy, his children (John, Karla, and Alan), the large extended family of which he was extremely proud, and the thousands of people who loved and admired him.
Since he and his family arrived in Lisle in 1966, no one else has had a larger positive influence on the Village of Lisle and its schools than Coach Nalley. He achieved enormous success as a teacher and football and track coach, was named National High School Athletic Director of Year in 1984 and served as District 202 Superintendent of Schools until his retirement in 1996. He was an exceptional educator and mentor to young people and an unmatched example of loyalty and leadership for those whose lives he touched.
Our foundation is very proud to carry on his vision for our schools by serving the current and former students of Lisle through the charitable organization that carries his name. As we gather the alumni of Lisle for our events and award scholarships to outstanding Lisle students in his name, we are so grateful that Coach Nalley got to enjoy his legacy so richly and frequently during the last two decades. He rarely missed an alumni event or award ceremony, and we will miss his legendary presence more than we can express.
Please remember the Coach and the Nalley Family in your prayers, and we will share information on services as it becomes available.
