Keep high achievements of Dist. 125 going

Posted March 23, 2011 12:00 am

Citizens of School District 125 have a critical decision to make in April which will affect our children’s educational future and the value of our community. This year we are electing four of the seven board members. We are essentially determining this year who will be controlling one of our community’s most valuable assets — Stevenson High School. Terry Moons, Bruce Lubin, Merv Roberts and David Weisberg are all facing re-election. I strongly support them due to the outstanding academic accomplishments that Stevenson has seen. Some examples:

타 Stevenson was listed in the top 3 percent of public high schools nationwide by U.S. News and World Report.

타 The Class of 2010 earned the highest ACT scores in school history, averaging 26.2.

타 Stevenson is the only public high school in Illinois to win four U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Awards.

타 98 percent of Stevenson students continue their education after graduation, with 88 percent attending a four-year college.

I encourage all of my fellow District 125 citizens to vote for board members Moons, Lubin, Roberts and Weisberg to ensure that Stevenson High School will continue to be one of the finest academic schools in the country.
