High Schools That Work Educational Achievement Awards

Six North Chicago Community High School seniors earned the 2008 High Schools That Work (HSTW) Award of Educational Achievement based on their scores on the 2008 HSTW Assessment and the completion of the HSTW-Recommended Curriculum.

Alonda K. Cambray, Semeka D. Cunningham, Ashlee M. Ford, Stephanie R. Fortson, Dora L. Lopez, and Vance D. Wyatt.

Congratulations to all of these outstanding students and their families.
