Last night, Superintendent Jennifer Gill proudly recognized a standout group of students who have committed to pursuing a career in education—and we couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead for each of them!CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS
These future teachers have officially committed to their postsecondary paths, with plans to attend colleges and universities like Illinois State, The Ohio State, Lincoln Land Community College, Blackburn, and more!
We're so proud of their passion and purpose—and we can’t wait to follow their journeys as they work toward becoming the next generation of difference-makers. Even more exciting? We hope to welcome them back to District 186 one day, this time as classroom leaders shaping the lives of students just like them!
The future of education depends on passionate, caring, and committed individuals—just like these students. Teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a calling, a career of impact, and a chance to inspire every single day.
To our future educators: we believe in you, we celebrate you, and we can’t wait to see how far you go!
