Our eighth grade students attended the 13th Annual Distinctive Schools High School fair on September 28th! Over 40 high school representatives welcomed eighth grade students from CICS Bucktown, CICS Irving Park, CICS Prairie and CICS West Belden to share more about the high school experience. Students learned about unique offerings and programs, spoke with high school representatives, and participated in a series of workshops. We had an amazing day preparing our students for their next educational adventure.
