The Boumas have a long history at Omaha Central. Lyn was choir director from 1993 until she retired in 2021. Lyn's husband and accompanist Stephen is a 1981 Eagle, but his family history at Central reaches back into the 19th century. Their daughter Claire is a 2021 Eagle graduate (5th generation) and now carries on the family tradition as a music teacher in Minnesota.
