Congratulations, Carl Sandburg High School Grad Josh Hamill

ORLAND PARK, IL — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Josh Hamill will graduate from Carl Sandburg High School.

Plans after graduation: University of Notre Dame, Glynn Family Honors Program

Accomplishments: Executive Board National Honors Society, Illinois State Scholar, AP Scholar with Honors, Varsity Soccer midfielder, Mu Alpha Theta mathematics honor society, recipient of PFSA Exemplary Student Scholarship and Orland Park Kiwanis Club Scholarship, Cook County Sheriff’s Youth Service Medal of Honor.

Special message: We are so incredibly proud of you Josh! Continue to work hard and achieve all that you desire! Love, Mom and Dad (and go Irish!!)
