Students that showed perfect attendance during the month of December. Congratulations !!!

After their all-day testing, one of our Juniors was rewarded with a $400 gift card to Best Buy! The student, D’Angelo Luciano rejoiced with pride when he was informed of how he exceeded the Illinois State Benchmarks on his ACT test. Many colleges look at a students’ ACT score as a measurement of their “aptitude” to do well. With his high score, Mr. Luciano will be sought after by many Colleges and Universities.

September 23, 2009 Our school commemorates El Grito de Lares.
