High school hosts first White Coat Ceremony As of Feb. 9, 2022 Hi-Liter is the successor publication to McHenry County News

Twenty-six McHenry High School students were honored recently in the school’s first-ever White Coat Ceremony to not only mark their completion of the four-course Biomedical Science program but also celebrate the successful implementation of the health care curriculum. McHenry High School teachers, administrators and families gathered for the ceremony in the Warrior Room in the school’s new Center for Science, Technology and Industry at Upper Campus. After the ceremony, families got to view the new center’s Biomedical Science classroom, which includes advanced spaces and equipment for biomedical science. Each student received a personalized white coat to signify the successful completion of the four biomedical science courses meant to prepare high school students for future study in health care. Those courses are Principles of Biomedical Science, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions and Medical Residency, a job shadowing program at Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital. “This is the first ever here at McHenry High School,” McHenry High School Principal Jeff Prickett said during the ceremony. “I hope you feel what a momentous occasion this is.” Instructor Leah Pelletier said this first ceremony represents a culmination of the effort to bring the rigorous health care curriculum to McHenry High School. Many of the students honored started the program in their freshman year and some also participated in separate certification programs through McHenry County College.

Lake County Board member steps down; qualified candidates sought for replacement Lake County Board Member Bill Durkin announced that he is stepping down from his County Board seat effective April 18, 2022. “As a lifelong resident of Waukegan, I have been honored to serve not only the citizens of Waukegan but also those in Lake County as a member of the Lake County Board,” said Bill Durkin.” It Bill Durkin has been a privilege to represent District 8 since 2010 and I appreciate the faith that the residents of my district have placed in me. I am excited to move forward into the next chapter of life knowing that under the leadership of my Lake County Board colleagues, Lake County is and will continue to be a great place to live, work and do business.” Member Durkin has served on the Lake County Board since 2010 and is the current Public Works, Planning and Transportation Committee Chair. Durkin is a lifelong resident of Waukegan and has been an active member of the community by serving as a Waukegan Park District Commissioner from 1999 - 2010 and as a Traffic and Sign Engineer for Waukegan Public Works for more than 29 years. Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart is seeking qualified candidates to fill the District 8 county board seat. According to Illinois law, the Lake County Board Chair shall appoint someone to fill the vacancy within 60 days with the advice and consent of the county board. The appointee would serve until the end of this county board session, Dec. 4, 2022. State law requires that the individual appointed to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term shall be: • At least 18 years old and a “legal voter” with a valid voter registration in Lake County. No individual may serve if their right to vote has been permanently revoked or temporarily revoked during the appointed term of office; and • A current resident of District 8, which includes portions

McHenry High School students were honored with a white coat ceremony to signify the successful completion of four biomedical science courses meant to prepare the students for future study in health care.

“We’re so happy to celebrate the accomplishments of these fine young people,” Pelletier said. “Many of these students have earned college credit and scholarship opportunities through the national assessments given at the conclusion of each course.” Three of the biomedical courses are Project Lead the Way courses and prepare students for the final capstone course, Medical Residency. McHenry High School seniors who completed the program said it helped them to learn about different health care jobs and narrow their focus for their own careers. Senior Shane Spatol learned that, instead of working in a clinical setting, he’d prefer to work developing technologies as a biomedical engineer. Others said it further prepared them for future careers in nursing, physician

assistant and other clinical jobs. Seniors Yaksi Gonzalez, Sabrina Komorous and Melanie Lopez all agreed the program gave them a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes in health care. “I learned about jobs in the medical field that I had no idea of before,” said Komorous, who plans to study to become a nurse-practitioner or a physician assistant. Studying for a career in health care didn’t dim even though we were going through a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, students said. The pandemic did present some challenges, though, especially for the Medical Residency students who often had to take a pause from working at the hospital.
