This high honor gives us the opportunity to share the intentional and measurable steps we are taking to ensure success for every student.
Among the topics District 207 will be able to share with other educators include: The instructional coaching model that is unique in the country.

The expansive and in-depth college/career program that is having dramatic impacts on students. The program has a bigger picture objective to create the
conditions needed such that every student can wisely choose a career that pertains to their passions, is realistically achievable, and is in high demand. The recruitment of high quality educators who know growth has no limit. District 207 looks for educators that have passion for learning and cutting edge ways to recruit and find those individuals.

OAKTON
FRATTO Oakton skipper tabbed as Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago’s 2019 College Coach of the Year On the heels of the Oakton Community College baseball team being ranked No. 1 in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) preseason poll, head coach Bill Fratto was named 2019 Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago College Coach of the Year. Fratto was honored at a ceremony held Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Tinley Park Convention Center. “Receiving respect at the ceremony was quite emotional,” says Fratto, a resident of Wheeling. “As a coach, you earn the benefits of the achievements of your players, and we had a storybook season in 2018. I’m very proud of everyone and the incredible things they achieved to put me in the situation to win this prestigious honor. I’m very humbled and grateful of this award. This achievement also gives national recognition to the college and provides another reason why players should come to Oakton.” Fratto was among an esteemed group of baseball honorees, including former Chicago White Sox announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Bren Spillane, Pat Murphy, Dan Plesac, Daniel Palka and Natalie Niekro, among others. The recognition is among several postseason coaching accolades Fratto received after guiding the Owls to a historic 2018 season that culminated with the team’s first national championship and a
school-record 44 wins in his 13th season. Previous awards include the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Diamond Sports NJCAA Division III National Coach of the Year, Division III World Series Coach of the Year and Region IV Division III Coach of the Year. However, Fratto says that this season will be different: “I’m looking forward to the challenge of repeating in 2019. This will be a hard accomplishment because we’re now the big dogs, and every team will be coming after us with all they have.” In the Owls’ national championship season, Fratto’s squad finished second in the nation in runs scored (503), walks (289) and sacrifice flies (31) and third in hits (632), extra base hits (187), at bats (1,887) and total bases (932). Also, Oakton tallied 425 RBI and 45 home runs while amassing a .335 team batting average. The Owls’ 44-17 record in 2018 pushed Fratto’s career mark to 472-256, a .648 winning percentage. Fratto, who attended Oakton, is a three-time Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year, earning that distinction in 2006, 2012 and 2015. During his coaching career at Oakton, his teams won the Skyway Conference championship four times, in 2006, 2012, 2015 and 2016. The Owls also made NJCAA Region IV
