District 88 recognizes National Assistant Principals Week

National Assistant Principals Week takes place each April, as declared by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the American Federation of School Administrators.

This year’s event took place from April 4 to 8 and provided an opportunity to recognize the significant role assistant principals play in the overall academic achievement of students nationwide – especially with the challenges of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

District 88 thanks Assistant Principals Iridia Niewinski and Mike Warren at Addison Trail and Bob Daly and Jamie Gourley at Willowbrook, Athletic Directors Matt Thompson at Addison Trail and Brandon Murphy at Willowbrook and Deans Steve Holland (Director), Alejandro Guzman and Raquel Rodriguez at Addison Trail and Julio Del Real (Director), Alena Edwards and Curtis Tate at Willowbrook for their incredible work. Their leadership helps ensure the school buildings operate smoothly on a daily basis for students to receive a comprehensive educational experience.

District 88 also celebrated Paraprofessional Appreciation Day on April 3 and National Library Workers Day on April 5. It is because of the commitment and efforts of our staff members and other partners that we're able to accomplish our mission of working for the continuous improvement of student achievement.
