Four (4) students from Larkin High School’s Education CTE program, Maya Nail, Zeke Rodriguez, Izzy Lopez, and Izeti Chavez, represented U-46 with their teacher Aurora Scarpaci at their first ever Educators Rising State competition at Illinois State University on March 4. Maya and Zeke earned 2nd place in the Children’s Literature competition with their original book, “The ABC’s of your Emotion.” Izeti Chavez was also awarded 3rd place for her Job Interview event. Congratulations to these Larkin students, our future teachers!
1,000 students from Larkin and Streamwood High Schools participated in career and technical trades professional panels during February and March. Professionals from the automotive, business, engineering, financial services, healthcare, insurance, large equipment maintenance, manufacturing, and technical trades industries provided advice to students on employment opportunities, skill sets required, and academic, business, and technical training needed to be successful.
