2 Superintendent’s greeting

Fall at University High School is always a special time. Incoming freshmen are get- ting their first taste of a completely different learning environment where freedom and responsibility are available in abundance. New faculty are becoming familiar with time- honored traditions and the University High School culture. Our new faculty begin to learn how to blend best practice, teacher education, and innovation together to create dynamic teaching and learning. This fall is particularly special as we wel- come our new principal, Andrea Markert.

Andrea Markert Steve Evans Mrs. Markert is very familiar with U-High, as she served as teacher and assistant principal prior to accepting the principal position. She brings a wealth of relationships and knowledge of University High School along with her energy, ideas, and enthusiasm! We are very fortunate to have Steve Evans move permanently into the assistant principal’s role. Like Mrs. Markert, Mr. Evans brings several years of experience at University High School as a science teacher and coach and last year served as the interim assistant principal. Mr. Evans has developed great rapport with our students and has done an outstanding job helping make improvements in the facility. Due to their past experiences and familiarity with the school, Mrs. Markert and Mr. Evans value the vital role that U-High alumni play in the life of our school. I know you will find them valuable resources as you reconnect with U-High—as visitors, volunteers, donors, and most importantly, friends. Please take the time to say hello to our two new administrators as you come to campus for a visit. Thank you again for your ongoing support and involvement. I look forward to seeing you at our Homecoming festivities on September 20! Jeff Hill, superintendent, Laboratory Schools In the halls of U-High

4 Newsweek ranks U-High as a top school

Newsweek ranked University High School as No. 399 in a list of the top 2,000 public high schools in America. U-High is the only downstate Illinois school to make the top 400. Throughout our nation, there are approximately 26,000 public high schools. Two of the key factors in the ranking are the graduation rate and percentage of students accepted to a college. U-High’s graduation rate is 99 percent, and 97 percent of graduating seniors were accepted into college. Other ranking factors include average SAT/ACT scores; Advanced Placement (AP) tests taken per student; average AP scores; and percent- age of students enrolled in at least one AP class. U-High’s average ACT score is 25.5. A perfect score is 36. “Over the past five years we have supported an increasingly wide variety of AP offerings and make those offerings available to any student who wants to challenge themselves,” Laboratory Schools Superintendent Jeff Hill said. “The increased AP enrollment coupled with the hard work of students and teachers has led to strong results.” This is the fifth consecutive year that U-High has been listed in the Newsweek rankings. U-High moved up from last year’s ranking of 547.

Stroud Seat Campaign update by Emily James The ongoing Seat Campaign for Stroud Auditorium is still in full swing, having raised more than $244,500. If you have been in the beautifully renovated space, you know what a remarkable upgrade it is from the Stroud of the past. If you would like to contribute to this project, it is not too late. There are still approximately 240 seats left for purchase. Each seat has a nameplate attached that can be inscribed with two lines of text—a wonderful way to honor someone, commemorate a loved one, or pay tribute to your time at University High School. Seat nameplates are available for a donation of $500 per seat. Pledges of $500 or more may be paid over a two-year period. Additionally, those who work for a matching gift company can donate $250 with a company match to designate a seat nameplate. University High School is grateful to everyone who has supported this campaign. For more information on how to get your seat, con- tact Emily James, associate director of Development, at [email protected] or (309) 438-4304.

Lincoln Room dedicated with Class of 1961 Gifts

Before being elected president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln was an attorney with the Illinois State Board of Education. During that tenure Lincoln drew up the documents to establish Illinois State University, the institution that oversees University High School. So without Lincoln, there would be no U-High. Illinois State History Professor Emeritus John Freed spoke to the Class of 1961 during their class reunion and detailed how Lincoln was instrumental in forming University High School. The Class of 1961 was inspired by Freed’s talk and decided to mark this connection by organizing efforts to dedicate the Lincoln Room in the school library. John “Mac” Holzer ’61, Kent Deffenbaugh ’61, and Joe Barger ’61 lead efforts to gift an oil reproduction of George Healy’s 1869 portrait of Lincoln and Class of 1961: Kent Deffenbaugh, Bruce Hammitt, Lydia Cicciu Stanhope, Mac framed documents detailing the portrait’s origins and the presi- Holzer, Chuck Allen, Linda Gaber Hendricks, Sandy Eaton Beier, Dean Kunz dent’s connection to the University. This particular painting was selected because Lincoln’s son Robert proclaimed it to be the best image of his father ever conceived and the original hangs in the State Dining Room of the White House. After two years of planning, formulating, and preparation, the formal dedication was held April 10, 2013. Eight members of the Class of 1961, some traveling as far away as Indiana, Texas, and Washington, attended the event along with many other guests including Illinois State President Emerits Al Bowman and Freed, who was consulted throughout the efforts.
