School Notes
Guerin College Preparatory High School, River Grove, will begin the
2009-2010 school year with all of its students carrying a laptop
computer to class on a daily basis. Guerin Prep, a Catholic
secondary school dedicated to the education and faith development
of approximately 615 young men and women, began the one-to-one
computing program in the fall of 2007 with the freshmen and
sophomore classes. Each fall since a new class has been added to
maximize the school's mission to prepare students for success in
college and career. This technology, combined with the school's
curriculum and a well-versed faculty allows students to explore
diverse cultures and new perspectives; write and edit reports,
essays and presentations electronically; plan, prepare and present
creative multimedia projects; access online tutoring and
communicate with teachers and others worldwide. Electronic
textbooks for most core classes are loaded on the laptop. In
addition to the laptop program, Guerin Prep also has a special
program for honors students as well as a structured course of study
for students needing special assistance. Guerin Prep is especially
proud of its 22-acre campus, which provides fields and facilities
enabling all athletes to practice in a safe and secure environment.
Sponsored by the Sisters of Providence, Guerin Prep was founded as
an all-girls school in 1962 and changed its mission to co-education
in 2004. Guerin Prep proudly claims both Mother Theodore Guerin and
Holy Cross high schools as its foundation schools. Visit
