We start the day off with a little senior prank. Students take over the staff parking lot. They finally found a way to get the seniors to school on time
Congratulations to
@Rnolting21
on completing his dissertation. He is now Dr. Nolting!! We are proud of the work he has done not only in his Doctoral program but also within the Andrew community.
A year in the making, but today we were able to officially recognize
@AbirOthman
as the 2019-20 Assistant Principal of the year! Thank you to Dr. Leahy from
@ilprincipals
for making the trip to recognize this outstanding educator.
Today in Mrs. Koleno’s Entrepreneurship class, students virtually spoke with Omar Soliman, founder and CEO of College Hunks. Omar gave Andrew students practical advice from his life and prepared them to pitch their own business ideas in front of investors!!
It was a great way to start this day this morning. Mr. Nolting was able to visit 7 outstanding students and their families! The seventh of the group was Michael Bobber. Michael is a National Merit Commended Scholar.
Tonight we get to honor Shawn Nussbaum as an Oustanding Activity Advisory through the Illinois Directors of Student Activities at the annual Educators Award Night. Shawn has done a tremendous job building and leading our Chess Team at Andrew. Congratulations to Mr. Nussbaum!
We are so excited today. It is our seniors last day and could not be prouder of them. The staff wanted to come out just to let them know how much we appreciate them.
Due to dangerous cold and predicted temperatures...
Wednesday Jan 30th 2019 and Thursday January 31 2019 ALL D230 Schools and Facilities WILL BE CLOSED.

It is Teacher Appreciation Week! There are not enough words to describe the incredible job our entire staff has done to support our students. Thank you for everything you have done.
Congratulations T-Bolts on finishing up the year!
Really looking forward to seeing you back hopefully this fall! Stay safe and have a fantastic summer. Lastly, remember “Once A T-Bolt, Always a T-Bolt!” 🖤💛🖤💛
Today we welcomed all of our students back. We also want to welcome our new staff! Please get to know Ms. Kassis. She graduated from VJA and worked in District 135 last year. She loves walking her dog, spending time with her family, and having a good cup of coffee.
#BoltUp
Our incredible Deans delivered bags and bags of food to help Andrew families get through this rough patch. THIS is the T-Bolt Spirit!

Have you thought about your community service hours? Jack Le received a new custom wheelchair so Jack and his brother AJ spent part of their summer researching places to donate Jack's old wheel chair and crutches. That is really giving back to the community!!
#TBOLTPROUD
Each day that I walk the halls at Andrew so much has changed but what hasn't changed is the effort of so many hard working professionals. Thank you to everyone who is working like crazy to make this all work.
Miss our parade though the VJA community last night? Check out this video recap!
Thanks to everyone who came out along the routes, our students & families, our staff, & the amazing group who put it together 🖤💛🖤💛
