Congratulations to these 43 graduating seniors at Geneva High School who have earned the Seal of Biliteracy!  The Illinois State Seal of Biliteracy is awarded to high school students who have demonstrated proficiency in both English and another language through their ability to meet the designated thresholds on state approved tests in both languages.  The Seal of Biliteracy will be affixed to student diplomas as well as identified on their Geneva High School transcripts.  With this distinction, students can earn college credit if attending Illinois public universities, state- approved community colleges, and many private schools.  Congratulations again to these students, and the World Languages Department wishes them all the best in their future endeavors!

CONGRATULATIONS, GHS School Psychologist Michelle Vargas-Herbst who was named 2024 Educator of the Year in the Student Support Personnel category by the Kane County Regional Office of Education. Geneva 304 is proud of her dedication and hard work in supporting our students. Let's show her some love and appreciation for this well-deserved recognition!

Preschool students at the Geneva 304 Early Learning Program continued their countdown to the last day of school using the letters of the alphabet. To celebrate letter J, the students wore their JERSEYS and sang along to a concert by local children’s musician, Jim Gill! Jim Gill specializes in Music Play for all young children. We were excited to have him give a concert for our three-year-olds in the morning preschool and another for our four-year-olds in the afternoon preschool.

Do you enjoy working with children? Consider becoming a substitute teacher. School districts across the state are facing a shortage of subs, and Geneva District 304 is no exception. Substitute teachers play a vital role in providing our students with the best possible learning experience when their regular teacher is absent. You can help support our students by applying to be a substitute teacher in Geneva District 304.

To help ease the sub shortage, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has lessened the requirements to obtain a substitute teacher’s license.

Ms. Dunlap, business teacher at GHS has been involved with business throughout her career but didn’t start teaching until she was in her 40s. “I used to have a cake business and an Irish dance dressmaking business and although both were ultimately successful, I got very bored and it kind of took the fun out of what I love to do,” she said.
