Arlington Heights District 25 students head back to school
Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 students exchanged hugs and kisses with their parents before heading down hallways and into their classrooms for their first day of school Thursday.
Some 5,500 students at the district's seven elementary schools and two middle schools returned to class for the 2019-2020 school year, welcomed by teachers and staff at front doors.
At five schools, new principals were there to greet students, including Erin Davis at Olive-Mary Stitt Elementary, Chris Martelli at Westgate Elementary, Lori Naumowicz at Thomas Middle School, Jim Morrison at South Middle School, and Piper Boston, a longtime district principal who transferred to Windsor Elementary.
