You are all invited to come and listen to our music department at their fall concert "Let There Be Music" tonight beginning at 7:00pm in the Kuhn Cultural Arts Center. You'll be delighted with our talented students.

Congratulations to the following seniors who were recently named as Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.  Although they will not continue in the scholarship competition, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2010 competition by taking the 2008 PSAT test.  Our Commended Student for the Class of 2010 are Andrew Caron, Allison Cochrane, Sara Francesconi, and Daniel McCarthy.  

Congratulations to John Schuller on being featured as the "Terrific Teacher" in the October issue of the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn Glancer Magazine.

Go Spartans!
