Geneseo CUSD #228 - Where the future grows.

GMS Track and Field Athletes took a Walk of Champions this afternoon as they celebrate 3 Sectional Championships and get ready to head to the IESA State meet this Friday and Saturday. Good luck at State! #BeLEAF

A wonderful afternoon at Geneseo High School as we officially dedicated the Ted McAvoy Career and Technical Education Center! GHS Vocational Director Travis Mackey introduced Mr. McAvoy, who shared career reflections and expressed deep gratitude for his colleagues, the community, and his wife, Marilyn. The dedication also celebrated the bright future of the trades in our district. Mr. McAvoy took time to recognize GHS student Alex Davis for a remarkable milestone: completing the residential carpentry apprenticeship program and surpassing 4,000 hours of industry training. Congratulations to Mr. McAvoy on this well-deserved honor, and to Alex for carrying on a proud tradition of excellence.

It was a hot but awesome day up at the GMS IESA Sectional Track & Field meet today. 7th and 8th girls, and 8th boys, all won their Sectional in a tough field of 16 teams. Our 7th boys just missed 1st by a single event. Good luck to all our athletes as we head to State next week!

Join us in celebrating the incredible school nurses who keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!

Today is National School Nurse Day 2026, a time to recognize these dedicated professionals for their vital role in supporting student well-being and academic success. This year’s theme, "Trusted, Valued, Essential," perfectly captures the impact they make every single day.

From managing chronic conditions and responding to emergencies to supporting mental health, our school nurses are compassionate caregivers and strong advocates for every student.

Please join us in thanking our amazing Geneseo school nurses (pictured left to right):

Sara Kreps (Millikin)
Jessica Jansen (District Lead Nurse/GMS)
Andrea Smith (Northside)
Joyce Dietrich (Southwest)
Alysia Young (GHS)

Thank you for all you do for our students and our community!

As Teacher Appreciation Week continues, next up to show their gratitude is Millikin Elementary and its principal, Philip Moe, who writes, "We have the best teachers and staff. They do far more than teach academics — they counsel, inspire, motivate, cheerlead, and challenge. Thank you to the wonderful staff at all our buildings!"
