If the school board new on how and why Linda Yonke was fired from Kankakee High School, they would not have hired her. Also she was not the principle of York Community. She was an Elementary School, i believe it was in Elmhurst in 1998. I guess New Trier does not perform background checks.
I went to school in Chicago, this school is RICH, look at the surrounding area.
In one word: affluence. It is very easy to notice monetary affluence in this school district, but it comes with affluence in programming and opportunities. Not the most diverse school by ethnicity, with around 10% being of an ethnic minority as of 2015 (my graduating year). As long as you can get over or ignore people that want to flex monetary wealth, you will see that this school oozes excellence. Whether it be sports, theater, science, or any other kinds of extracurricular activities, New Trier is a great place for students to learn and grow. Even if you are not the most wealthy family, the school is accommodating to students that need financial aid. I would definitely recommend sending your child here.
This school has a sorry excuse for safety. The effort they put in has no affect, since the teachers and the surrounding people don't care to follow rules.
