Wrapping Up a Whirlwind Year in District 102! ☀️🎉
Schools across D102 have been buzzing with activity as students and staff cross the finish line of this school year. High-energy field days, picnics, award ceremonies, meaningful service days, and exciting end-of-year field trips filled our final week with incredible memories and all the feelings! 🥹

This year was filled with immense growth, teamwork, and milestones. Watching our students master new skills, support one another, and celebrate their achievements has been an absolute joy. Our young learners consistently showed us what it means to live out our Portrait of a Graduate traits every single day. 🌟

Thank you to our wonderful staff, families, and community partners for your partnership and collaboration.

We look forward to another phenomenal year ahead. Have a safe, restful, and relaxing summer, D102 family! 🏖️🕶️

Let's do our final shoutout to our retiree, Ms. Cathy Berg, AJHS science teacher! Take a moment to get to know Ms. Berg.

Fun Fact:
“My first teaching job was at AJHS, and I never left.”

Total Years at D102:
22

What do you look forward to doing during your retirement?
“First, I plan to enjoy my summer by getting lots of rest and spending time with family and friends. I do hope to get back to work in a laboratory setting, but I am open to teaching in an underserved Kenosha neighborhood.”

Is there anything you would like to share with the D102 community?
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the students and parents of District 102. I've worked with thousands of junior high students over the years, and I have been so proud of their talent in so many areas inside and outside of my classroom. I admire their compassion for one another and their personal growth, whether it be academic or some special area of interest. I am grateful that I was able to laugh and enjoy them just about every day. I have many good memories that will last me a lifetime. Thank you, D102!”
