High School District 214 this summer will launch a new Summer Enrichment Program intended to further challenge students’ intellectual curiosity.
The initiative, part of the District’s Talent Development Program, will feature focused student learning on a variety of topics – from art, science and philosophy to fashion, rock and roll history and the analysis of films that helped shape a generation.
