I want you to know

Before the school year ended, Schuler at Waukegan High School held a Meet-and-Greet for the entire high school staff. Here's what Scholars wanted their teachers to know about the Schuler Scholar Program:

I would like for others to know that the Schuler Scholar Program is an academic community that focuses on consistent personal best and shared morale. I want for people to know that Schuler is an experience: enriching and challenging work that will bring out the best in any Scholar taking advantage of the opportunity given. The Schuler Scholar Program is a beacon of resources, support, and camaraderie that highlights the significant, inherent, and developing characteristics of a unique individual and uses that to advance the progress one makes on their personal track to success.

I want everyone to know that there are so many resources available to you. Whenever you are in need of assistance, staff is always there for you. This ranges from simple materials to moral support. Even fellow scholars are great go-to people. Never be afraid to ask for help!!!

I would like others to know that the Schuler Scholar Program doesn't just focus on helping you get to college but it also helps you become a better student and helps make you aware of things going on around you.

People should know that even though there is a lot of work you need to put in, it pays off. You get to experience so many opportunities and it can really expose you to a lot.
