We love the partnership we share with Junior Achievement. They create ready to use, hands-on lessons for volunteers to teach everything from problem solving skills to lessons on our communities. 5th grade students end with an off-campus trip to "Biz-Town" which is always one of the highlights of the year! Pictured are fourth grade students learning about trading resources and goods.

We are thrilled to recognize this incredible group of seniors as Illinois State Scholars! This prestigious honor, awarded annually by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, celebrates students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, dedication, and perseverance throughout their high school careers.

Congratulations to each of you on this well-deserved accomplishment — Geneseo High School is so proud of you!
