The end of the school year always brings so much excitement and so many opportunities to celebrate. Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 was proud to honor 12 students from D123 schools at the annual South Cook Region Illinois Principal Association Recognition Breakfast with the theme “Growing Greatness.”
Each student recognized at the breakfast was selected by their principal for their success and perseverance in the classroom, the respect and kindness they show others, and their positive attitude toward learning and community involvement. District 123 is proud to recognize these outstanding students for their achievements and growth throughout the school year.
The IPA also honored Sward Principal Suzanne Amra for receiving the South Cook Region Principal of the Year Award.
