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 3 to 7 and provided an opportunity to recognize these administrators and staff members, who work tirelessly to engage/encourage teachers, motivate students, support their principal, create a safe and positive learning community and more.

District 88 thanks Assistant Principals Iridia Nevarez and Mike Warren at Addison Trail and Jamie Gourley and Curtis Tate at Willowbrook; Athletic Directors Matt Thompson at Addison Trail and Brandon Murphy at Willowbrook; and Deans Steve Holland (Director), Raquel Rodriguez and Darlene Vargas at Addison Trail and Julio Del Real (Director), Malcolm Ross and Karina Klimek 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 this past week.

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.
