A.L.I.C.E
The first two weeks back from winter vacation high school students took part in an A.L.I.C.E. tutorial. This training was presented by the district's school resource officer, Deputy Franzen. This presentation explained to students what A.L.I.C.E. is and what options students have in emergency situations. A.L.I.C.E. is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, which is the safety philosophy our district and many districts across the nation have adopted. Our goal in providing these trainings is to be proactive with safety and to increase survivability chances in the event of a school emergency. Be sure to ask your students about A.L.I.C.E. today!
IGS Leadership Conference
In early February, seven high school students attended an interactive workshop presented by Illini Grad Sales with guest speaker Ted Wiese. This workshop covered topics like qualities of leaders, power of team work, making a difference in the lives of others, keys to successful student leadership, and the choice of leadership. The goal is for students to develop and improve leadership qualities that will have a positive and measurable impact on the school-community.
