- Attending a college visit is a great way to learn about colleges/universities.
- College visits are open to Juniors and Seniors and will take place in the College and Career Center.
- To attend a college visit you must both register in Maia Learning and obtain permission to attend from the teacher of the class that you'll be missing 24 school hours in advance (ie. A Monday 8:30am visit requires registration and permission from your teacher by 8:30am the previous Friday).

Latest Highlights
The girls volleyball team faced the Crystal Lake South last Tuesday in the sectional semifinals, where they came short against the Gators. The Eagles finished the season with a record of 21-15. Our individual girls swimmers competed well at sectionals, but did not meet the state-qualifying times this past weekend. The boys cross country team ran great at the state meet! They placed 9th overall (highest boys team finish ever)! All seven runners contributed their talents in a great race! Jackson Summy placed 7th overall to receive all-state honors! In the process of taking 7th place, he also broke the school record, with a time of 14:41.6! Congratulations as well to Emily Ovaska, who was selected to the IHSA All-State Flag Football (2nd Team)! This was a great wrap-up for our inaugural flag football season!
Thank you to all of our fall athletes for a memorable season!
