A tradition at all Perspectives campuses, the Feast of Thanks brings together the entire school community and allows htem to show gratitude and share a meal together.  This year's Feast of Thanks was a great send-of to the Thanksgiving break and a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far we have come this year!

On October 29th, we were honored to have Mr. Timuel Black as our Principal for a Day.  Mr. Black is a long-time Chicago native, a teacher at the collegiate level and a political activist for the southside of Chicago.  Mr. Black spoke with our 10th grade students about his life and the change in Chicago and America he has seen throughout the last decade.  Our students learned a great deal from his rich knowledge of the neighborhood and we were delighted to have him here with us. 

 

Spirit Week/Homecoming

The week of October 12th-16th was Spirit Week at Perspectives/IIT Math and Science Academy.  The students participated in various spirit days and had a pep rally complete with class games.  The high school flag football team defeated CICS Ralph Ellison in the homecoming game and then a dance was held at IIT.  We were very proud of the school spirit showed by all!
