Her appointment was approved unanimously Monday by the district’s board of education.

Rosenzweig has served as dean of students at Larkin High School in Elgin Area School District U-46 since 2009. She began her career in education as a Spanish/French teacher in Wheeling Township Elementary District 21, and also taught Spanish at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire.
