Our school district is proud to recognize Mr. Randy Bormann, who was recently presented with a Maple Leaf Medallion by Superintendent Dr. Adam Brumbaugh.
As Director of Maintenance, Bormann was instrumental in ensuring the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems throughout our buildings continued to run during the record-setting heat at the beginning of this school year, allowing us to keep students in the classroom.
Now in his 21st year with District 228, Randy has overseen approximately $45 million in projects that have improved our schools, including the recent construction of the Career and Technical Education Center at GHS. Congrats on this long overdue honor, Randy, and thank you for your steadfast commitment to Teach-Learn-Care.

We are elated to introduce Jackie Peters, our new special education resource at Geneseo Middle School. A Geneseo native, Peters attended Southern Illinois University and earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology. After being a stay-at-home mom for quite a few years, she worked as a reading aide at Northside Elementary. She then graduated from Western Governors University with a degree in special education and elementary education and taught cross-categorical special education at GMS.
“I will continue teaching special education at GMS in a different role, with a focus on team teaching and student academic support,” Peters explains. “My philosophy of teaching is to demonstrate kindness, respect, and patience, and to encourage students to work hard and be good citizens.”
We were thrilled to welcome students back and still have a few open positions to make their educational experience complete. Learn more and apply by visiting GeneseoSchools.org's employment page: https://geneseoskyward.org:448/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=wsFin/rapplmnu03.w
