OAK LAWN, IL — It's with enormous pride that Richards High School announces that Principal Dr. Mike Jacobson once again will embark on the remarkable feat of walking 24 hours on New Year's Day to raise money for scholarships.

He's set a goal of raising $30,000. Listen as some of our seniors -- with career aspirations in medicine, architecture, law enforcement and more -- join him in asking for help.

Anyone can contribute through the District 218 Education Foundation. To make a tax-deductible donation, visit CHSD 218.
