Mrs. Kirby’s AP US History class was able to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library. The class was able to meet with a Lincoln/Civil War historian and do research on their end of the semester research project dealing with Lincoln.
NEHS went on their third annual Barnes and Noble trip today where they purchased 107 library books and 23 personal books. They focused on expanding choices for the newly-added 5th grade, increasing non-fiction books, and finding books that interested them personally. Not only did students work hard researching book choices ahead of time, they worked diligently upon return to get the books ready for check out as soon as possible. Each student has a book that is dedicated to them with a sticker so future readers know they picked the book for this trip.

Sullivan High School recently held a building-wide "Day of Service". Students were divided into groups and went out into the community to help with beautification projects. Areas served were: Wyman and Tabor Parks, the Civic Center, Eastview Terrace, Mason Point, and various points around the City of Sullivan.
These students were recently recognized at Sullivan High School's quarterly Breakfast of Champions. Teachers recommend students who have gone above and beyond their expectations in the class. Great job and thank you for making Sullivan High School great!

I recently had the opportunity to speak at Eastern Illinois University to students in the Secondary Education Program. These students are preparing to begin 8 weeks of practicum work in area schools, prior to beginning their student teaching. Several of these students will be in Sullivan High School completing their practicum work. We are very fortunate and thankful to have a great relationship with Eastern Illinois University to help build a pipeline of great teachers, some of which may come to work in our district. It is also a great opportunity to share the great aspects of Sullivan Schools with these students. An added bonus on this visit was having Sullivan High School alumni in the class - Kirk Whitaker ('13) and Keaton Shumard ('14).
On Saturday, members of the Sullivan High School Class of 1968 toured Sullivan Schools. It’s always enjoyable to do lead these tours and learn more about the history of Sullivan High School!
