Superintendent’s Message:In pursuit of excellence, we dedicate ourselves to providing educationalexperiences that challenge, engage, and empower our students to beproductive members of the global community. Our commitment to excellencerequires that our students develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, andbehaviors necessary for today’s rapidly changing world.AdvancedPlacement courses offered at J.S. Morton HSD 201 provide our students withthe greatest opportunity to do just that.The Advanced Placement Program at J.S. Morton HSD 201 guides andnurtures students as they strive to become responsible citizens. Excellence,the standard against which we measure our students and ourselves, isreflected most visibly in the thought, expression, and intellectual exchangethat occur daily in our AP Classes. To this end, J.S. Morton HSD 201commits itself to fostering an atmosphere conducive to intellectual inquiry,innovation, enhanced self-esteem, mutual respect, and caring among all in theschool community.Student clubs engage in team building, service and fundraising activities thatfulfill the mission of each organization. Clubs also partake in differentactivities outside of school that allow them to interact with fellow conferenceschools in competitions and other student led activities.By providing access to high quality activities that extend learning beyond theclassroom, the clubs and activities offered at JS Morton HSD 201 developleadership qualities in our students. Participation in these groups helps tostrengthen bonds and develop friendships based on common interests. Thegoal for students and parents is often times getting good grades, but gradesalone do not guarantee success, by providing service learning opportunitiesthat build on students’ interests and talents, we are able to encourage andsupport students through their High School years. Throughout yourexperience at JS Morton HSD 201, we ask that you investigate the manyopportunities.Accessing scholarships is often enhanced by participating in a program ofchallenge, provided the student is also involved in community and schoolbased extra-curricular activities. Notwithstanding these motivators, the bestreason for a student to enter into a program of challenge is the opportunity tolearn more about a subject area that the student is interested in, and be in aclassroom with like-minded students. This powerful learning environment isfurther complemented by a teaching staff that is highly experienced anddedicated to the provision of educational enrichment.Student Handbook19
As Superintendent of J.S. Morton High School District 201, I encourage youto accept the Advanced Placement challenge in order to not only to achieveacademic excellence, but also to attain exceptional preparation for postsecondary studies.Sincerely,Dr. Michael KuzniewskiSuperintendent of SchoolsStudent Handbook20
