ISBE presents Those Who Excel awards to 2 at District 88
VILLA PARK-ADDISON — On Oct. 17, several members of the District 88 School Board and administration attended the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Those Who Excel banquet to recognize two District 88 award recipients. The Those Who Excel awards honor those who have made significant contributions to Illinois public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools. Among the honorees was Addison Trail alumnus Jeffrey Williams who earned a Meritorious Service award in the student support personnel category. Williams graduated from Addison Trail in 2005 and is now a school psychologist at Fremd High School. Board president Donna Craft Cain had this to say about him: “Watching Williams receive his award truly embodies why I became a Board member,” she said. “Seeing our students succeed and find their path in life is an indescribable feeling that fills me with pride. As Board President, there’s nothing more gratifying than knowing our staff and schools made a positive difference and helped Williams reach this accomplishment.”
