Bartlett High School continues to make civics a top priority.
A state organization recognized Bartlett High School for offering outstanding civics courses and extracurricular opportunities that help students become involved in local and state issues that impact local communities.
The Illinois Civic Mission Coalition honored Bartlett High School's 10 years of fostering a school climate. It cultivates and models civic learning and builds strong relationships within the surrounding community.
The U-46 school is among 67 Illinois high schools since 2006 and that have earned the designation of a democracy school.
The Bartlett school assembled a democracy school team. Which consisted of teachers in world language, science, special education and language arts to support the Democracy School Initiative.
"We commend Bartlett High School for their tenacity and enthusiasm in expanding and improving civic learning across the curriculum and throughout Illinois," Sonia Mathew said. She is the Civic Learning manager at the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. "Through these practices and experiences students see firsthand the critical role they play in shaping government and society."
The school will receive a $3,000 dollar stipend in December. This will help the school continue civics and grow.
