Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Gurnee District Curriculum
The Warren Township High School curriculum is derived from the Illinois Common Core Standards for English language and mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards. In English Language Arts classes, students read nonfiction and complex texts focusing on comprehension and information gathering. Students are expected to collect and organize information as well as analyze it. Students are taught to write clearly and expressively to share their insights and arguments intelligently and with thoughtful support.
In Mathematics and Science classes student are expected to use critical thinking to solve problems and to apply their learning to real-world problems and life experiences. Students should be equipped to enter post-secondary education and the work force as members of a global community, and it is the hope of the districts that students will be prepared to do so.

Chalk Talk: The College Essay
Whether you’re applying to a state school, a big university, or a small private college, most colleges require an essay, and those that don’t require it will consider one. It’s a good idea to go ahead and send one even if it isn’t required. Most students will “recycle” one essay to use for several colleges by reworking major themes to fit different prompts, and this is acceptable. The essay is important because it is one of the only opportunities an applicant will have to truly differentiate him/herself from other applicants. It’s an opportunity for the student to speak in his/her own voice. Colleges and universities that accept the common application will accept an essay based on its prompts, though they might ask for an additional supplemental essay. The prompt for this supplement is often something like “Why do you want to attend this college?” This is a difficult topic to answer creatively because most students will have the same things to say: I like the programs. I like the location. I like campus. How to stand out? Try to really personalize the essay and focus on things that matter to you, rather than just throwing in some facts found on the college’s website.
