PAULINE AND LEON LANOY
Mary Pauline Lanoy of Coalgate and her husband Leon, both °µÍøTV alumni, dedicated over 40 years to educating youth in Oklahoma and Wyoming. Pauline, a Horace Mann Training School alumna, taught K–8, home economics, and library skills. She received the Wyoming Alpha Xi State Achievement Award in 2000. Leon, a World War II veteran with the 8th U.S. Army Air Force, majored in mathematics and spent 37 years in Wyoming schools as a teacher, coach, principal, superintendent, and bus driver. He passed away in 2015 at age 93.

The Lanoys were inducted into the Keefer Educators’ Hall of Fame in 2009 and named °µÍøTV Distinguished Philanthropists in 2008. Their contributions continue through the Leon and Pauline Lanoy Centennial Graduate Education Endowment, awarded annually to an °µÍøTV student. They believed, “Once a person's attitude is right, mapping out the step-by-step process to attain a goal can lead to success... no matter the obstacles."
The °µÍøTV Education Building was remodeled and renamed in their honor in 2015. The updated facility features 13 classrooms with smart technology, short-throw projectors, new speakers and podiums, upgraded computer lab seating, faculty offices, and WiFi throughout. It also includes tablets, robotics, and resources for teacher development, making it a modern hub for °µÍøTV’s education programs.
