Leadership in Education
If you look at the masthead for the HHSTA website, you’ll see the tag line “Leadership in Education.” This is no mere slogan, but an active representation of the leadership undertaken by the professional educators who make up the membership of HHSTA both within and beyond their classrooms. To illustrate this point, I’d like to point to a small portion of our member’s accomplishments highlighted in the November 2007 District Communicator distributed by Dr. Wahl, Superintendent of District 86.
From the Communicator:
Chris Freiler, Hinsdale Central social studies teacher, serves on the Educational Advisory Board for the Illinois Holocaust Museum Education Center. This will be the second largest Holocaust Museum in the country, only surpassed by the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Hinsdale South choral director R. Brett Goad was elected to the office of President-Elect for the Illinois Chapter of the American Choral Directors’ Association. Additionally, Brett was selected as the guest director for the Illinois Music Educator Association (IMEA) District I Junior High Festival Chorus set to perform Saturday, November 17, on the campus of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois.
Brent Johnston, Hinsdale Central driver education teacher, presented “The Impact of the New GDL Requirements to High School Driver Education Programs,” at the Illinois High School/College Driver Education Association (IHSCDEA) Fall Workshop in Arlington Heights. Brent is the co-chair of the Legislative Action Committee and works directly with the Illinois State Board of Education and the Secretary of State Jesse White’s office with regard to the impact of current and future legislation that might affect the delivery of Driver Education in public high schools across the state.
This is just a portion of the HHSTA members recognized for their leadership in education beyond their classrooms. Past issues of the Communicator can be found in the menu of Dr. Wahl’s page at the District 86 website.
