South Holland School District 151 Receives Unexpected Recognition via South Cook Division Meeting Workshop!
From Mrs. Burton, Board President
On Thursday, March 13, 2025, I attended the Illinois Association of School Board’s South Cook Division Meeting workshop entitled, “Dollars and Decisions: Leading Schools Through Uncertainty!”
Suddenly, I found the workshop’s presenter, Dr. Ann Williams, mentioning our school district as one of her workshop examples of District/School successes!
She showed the slide below during her presentation and I was so very proud of our District’s work! The entire group of approximately 100 individuals applauded us! Thanks so very much Superintendent Dr. Hill, Administrators, Faculty, and Staff for all of your hard work! It’s appreciated and certainly lets others know, “What an AWESOME District we have!”
