year and winning the IHSA Regional

Fenton school history. The team,
which is ranked among the top
quizbowl teams in the nation,
competes in Scholastic Bowl and
quizbowl events that can be compared
to a team version of the popular game
show, Jeopardy! Events pair high
school teams against each other to answer questions about literature, math, science, history, art, music, sports, and a
variety of other subjects. The team is led by senior Greg Krzywicki, who was voted a Scholastic Bowl All-State player
for the second year after setting a new school record answering more than 2,300 questions in his four years on the
team. The team is under the direction of Mike Laudermith, Jon Aguilar and Anthony Daccardo.

Academic Team Celebrates Most Successful Season

Based on the recommendation of the Illinois Postive Behavoir Interventions and Supports (PBIS) network, 26 educators
from the Netherlands selected Fenton High School as a school to visit to learn more about PBIS best practices.The
Fenton PBIS program, Be REAL, has shown to be successful with a decrease in office referrals, tardies to class and
adding to an overall positive atmosphere at Fenton. FHS dean, Eric Koranda and school psychologist, Lisa Raufeisen
took the group through the five year history of Be REAL, answered questions and took the group on a school tour.
The group was not only impressed by the Be REAL program, they also commented on how many students were still
actively engaged in learning after school through athletics and activities.

Johnson School.
History of Tioga School began in 1931*
Tioga School opened in 1931 with just six classrooms, the rest of the building
was an unfinished shell. Two classrooms on the second floor were finished
in 1935 to meet needs of total enrollment of 545 students between Tioga and
Green Street School, which was built in 1917. As school enrollment grew, the
rest of the building was finished.
Download an order form at
www.bsd2.org/bricks.
District 100 was organized in 1925 with the new high school. Fenton High
School broke ground in 1954. Upon its completion, a special election was held
to sell the old high school building to District 2. It became Blackhawk Junior
High School. In the fall of 1965, the junior high moved to the current building
on Church Road and the York Road building became Chippewa School.
Chippewa School closed in 2012 when the first phase of the Tioga School was
completed. It was demolished in fall, 2012.
