Testimonials

Art & Science

I had the privilege to serve alongside Chris when he was Superintendent of Schools with District 113 and I was Principal of Highland Park High School. As a new principal I relied on him, our Superintendent, as a trusted mentor. His commitment to ethical leadership can never be overstated and he was beloved. He actively – and intrinsically – sought and put together incredibly diverse leadership teams at both the District Office and HPHS. His leadership will be forever missed!

Dr. Elizabeth Perez Robertson, Principal, Highland Park High School
