Illinois Art Education Association recognizes Henry-Senachwine High School

HENRY — The Illinois Art Education Association recently recognized Henry-Senachwine High School as a 2020 School of Distinction.

This is the inaugural year of this award. This recognition celebrates schools with rigorous art, design and media education programs.

To earn the School of Distinction Award, Henry-Senachwine High School displayed practices directly reflecting the Illinois Professional Teaching Standards, the Illinois Fine Arts and Media Standards and Social-Emotional Learning Priorities.

Participating in high-quality art, design and media courses develops student creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills in valuable ways. Students in these programs gain social and emotional skills along with college, career and citizenship readiness.

Research indicates that schools with successful programs like that at Henry-Senachwine High School experience increased student attendance, engagement and academic performance when compared with schools that don’t.

The IAEA is proud to honor Frank Bush for the distinguished programming and the significant opportunities offered students.

Henry-Senachwine High School is led by Dr. Jon Hill, principal, and Dr. Michael Miller, superintendent.
