At ICHS, we require all of our students to participate in mock interviews prior to graduation. In years past, we have conducted these interviews in the students' senior year; however, recent graduates wished we would have done it earlier in their high school career. We are listening to their feedback and we are working on moving this opportunity to sophomore year, but we want to make sure that all of our juniors and seniors also get this experience. To make this happen, we need your help! If you are interested in particpating in interviews, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/UZ7syvd3tLvs4LBM7 We will be in touch with more details once we have our interviewers. Thanks in advance!

Senior Zach Entwistle & Junior Bailie Krause are responsible of the Illini Central High & Middle School announcements. These great kids do a terrific job every single day. Today...a lot of hard work by members of The Class & The Class 201 came together as we were able to stream the announcements LIVE to the Illini Central Cougars You Tube Channel. Here is that link: https://youtu.be/W_Q-GNDayHU Juniors Lucas Power, Kaleb Flores, Madison Hughes & Sophia Schneider put in a lot of time to make this 1:32 clip look as great as it does. Mr. Wherley...on the other hand...needs to fix the beginning & end... We are excited to see where we can go from here. Tune in tomorrow LIVE at 11 a.m. or click the link whenever you get the chance. https://youtu.be/JPFwZjvJABE #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

“If you hang out with me for too long…I’ll brainwash you into believing in yourself and knowing that you can achieve anything.” On Tuesday, August 23rd at 4 p.m., Illini Central will be dedicating Jim Newell Track to honor our dearest coach & friend…Jimmy Newell. Even though we miss him dearly…we know this monument to Coach Jimmy will allow future IC students & athletes from other schools to know about a person who changed so many lives. Come out & help us celebrate Jimmy in a way that he would love…cheering on the kids as they run Cross Country. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

The school year is rapidly approaching, and we're looking forward to inviting you and your family to our campus in the coming days before school resumes on August 18th, 2022! ​Sunday, August 14th, 2022, from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm: ​Kindergarten families are welcome to attend our Kindergarten Play Date, sponsored by the ICGS PTO! This event is to help students (and families) meet one another and familiarize themselves with the "big kid" playground. The PTO will also have popsicles! Please park in the west parking lot behind the school. Contact icgspto@illinicentral.org with any questions. Wednesday, August 17th, 2022 from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm: ​ All ICGS families are welcome to attend the Illini Central Grade School Meet the Teacher Night. Homeroom teachers, Specials teachers, and other staff members will be in their classrooms, ready to meet students and parents alike. Feel free to bring your child's school supplies to school that evening in order to save them a heavier load on their first day on Wednesday. This same evening we'll have the PTO with us to give you more information on their organization and encourage you to sign up. Families will also be able to sign up at this event for Parent Teacher Conference time slots for later in the Fall. If you have students in other buildings, please note the Pre-Kindergarten Meet the Teacher time is 5:00 pm-7:00 pm this evening and the MS/HS event runs from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. ​We cannot wait to get this school year started!
