A General Election took place on Nov. 5, and Willowbrook’s Social Studies Honor Society (Civitas) hosted a mock election on Nov. 4 to teach students about and engage them in the Democratic process.

About 500 students participated through volunteering and casting their vote for President/Vice President and U.S. Representative for Illinois District 6. Participants showed their civic pride and wore “I Voted Today at Willowbrook HS” stickers.
