Message From Mike
What you see in the picture above is the first ever ACHS Flag Football Regional Championship Team. The team scored with 2 seconds left to take the lead and had to hold off a valiant last play from McHenry that nearly went the length of the field and would have tied it
Thank you Coach Johnson, Coach Price and the whole ACHS Flag Football Team for a wonderful season that continues tonight.
The next game is a Sectional Semifinal tonight in Harvard at 7:00 against Lakes Community High School.
Mike

D117 SCHOOLS NAMED TO THE AP HONOR ROLL - SILVER DISTINCTION (NEW)
College Board announced that Antioch Community High School and Lakes Community High School have been named to the Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll again this year, earning "Silver" distinction at both schools. The AP® School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing a college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. “AP represents an opportunity for students to stand out to colleges, earn college credit and placement, and potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP® program. “The schools have shown that they can expand access to these college-level courses and still drive high performance – they represent the best of our AP program.”
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
We know it takes a significant school wide effort—dedication from teachers, counselors, administrators, students, and parents—to make AP® access a priority. Thank you to our D117 community for this achievement!

From The Desk Of Dr. Feucht
Every two weeks, I'm privileged to spend half a day visiting eight classes at one of our schools. I sit in on two classes per period, with each visit lasting about 20 minutes, observing our students in action. Last week, I took the photo above while visiting eight math classes at LCHS, and two weeks prior, I visited Culinary, Early Childhood Development, Drivers Ed, and P.E. classes at ACHS. These visits always leave me with two reflections: 1) Students have a challenging job! They come to school from 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and must demonstrate a variety of skills daily. 2) We have dedicated and talented staff members at ACHS and LCHS!
Reach out! ➡️If you ever have a question or topic you would like more information about, please feel free to share your idea with me via email (jeff.feucht@chsd117.org) or via phone (direct line: 847.838.7679).
