At ICHS, we require all of our students to participate in mock interviews prior to graduation. In years past, we have conducted these interviews in the students' senior year; however, recent graduates wished we would have done it earlier in their high school career. We are listening to their feedback and we are working on moving this opportunity to sophomore year, but we want to make sure that all of our juniors and seniors also get this experience.
To make this happen, we need your help! If you are interested in particpating in interviews, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/UZ7syvd3tLvs4LBM7
We will be in touch with more details once we have our interviewers. Thanks in advance!
Senior Zach Entwistle & Junior Bailie Krause are responsible of the Illini Central High & Middle School announcements.
These great kids do a terrific job every single day.
Today...a lot of hard work by members of The Class & The Class 201 came together as we were able to stream the announcements LIVE to the Illini Central Cougars You Tube Channel.
Here is that link: https://youtu.be/W_Q-GNDayHU
Juniors Lucas Power, Kaleb Flores, Madison Hughes & Sophia Schneider put in a lot of time to make this 1:32 clip look as great as it does.
Mr. Wherley...on the other hand...needs to fix the beginning & end...
We are excited to see where we can go from here.
Tune in tomorrow LIVE at 11 a.m. or click the link whenever you get the chance.
