Ribbon Cutting for American Education

Picture
On December 9, 2022, Civic Memorial High School held a ribbon-cutting event for its new American Education program, which started during the Fall semester. The "grow your own" program allows students to begin working towards their teacher's certification while earning four credits from Lewis and Clark Community College. This innovative program is the first step in helping solve the teacher shortage problem that plagues many communities across Illinois and throughout the nation. All students enrolled in this program are guaranteed a job interview upon completing their teacher certification. This program is an example of how hard work and multiple stakeholders coming together can be a part of the solution to solving the teacher shortage. #GoEagles

Mental Health Resources

Picture
In your time in high school it is common to find yourself stressed out and anxious, which is no way to feel. For you to perform your best at school it is important to have a positive mindset and healthy ways of coping. These skills are not natural and do not come easy to everyone, which is why they are important to learn. The link below has many different tips for many different hardships that come with being a teen. There are tips for managing stress and anxiety, as well as support outlets for depression and time management tools / techniques. Websites are included as well as quick, easy to read PDFs and also short positive quotes to read in the morning to start the day off in the right direction. Sometimes, it is as simple as taking a nice long deep breath and there are breathing exercises to help. Good mental health is the structure to having a good school year, which is what we are working towards. Reaching out is the best thing you can do for your health, and we are here to help.
