I don’t buy the Bears-to-Indiana talk. It’s not impossible, which is why it’s such great leverage. But I still think they end up in AH. Either way, Caleb Williams.

Harry Teinowitz was kind. He was welcoming. He was genuine. He made people feel good about themselves. He cared. He was the friend who always remembered your birthday and was always trying to put a smile on your face. He was a true original -- and I will miss him.

The return of teachers and staff is one of my favorite days. There’s an impressive amount of talent in that room and I’ll never fully understand how they do what they do. It motivates me to try to be better in my role. #112leads
What a joy it was to gather with our entire staff today! We celebrated the start of a new year, honored our 2025 retirees and enjoyed an excellent keynote presentation from Dr. Sonya Whitaker. Our staff is the best in the world and we're ready for a fantastic year! #112leads

I am beyond excited about this and can’t wait to start at @NSSD112. At the same time, I’m thankful for the chance to finish the school year at @RiverTrailsD26. It’s such a wonderful district and I’ll genuinely miss it.
This week, the @nssd112 board of education approved the appointment of @BenFinfer. We cannot wait to partner with him! #112leads
