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.
The power of perseverance. #MondayMotivation
Ms. Dodge's 3rd grade class worked on making their own beaded number lines that they can use in math throughout the year. They started using them right away to build their understanding of rounding to the nearest 10! Lots of fun learning Math.
We honor and recognize the many contributions workers have made to our nation's strength, prosperity and well-being. Happy Labor Day!

We are delighted to welcome Alyssa Johnson, our new Behavior Analyst who will be working at Millikin, Northside, and Southwest Elementary Schools. Johnson earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Washington State University and her master’s degree in professional behavior analysis from the Florida Institute of Technology.
“I am most excited to give back to our small community and make an impact on the students in the Geneseo school district,” says Johnson. “I hope to help empower teachers in their classrooms and to foster a love for learning for the students.”
We’re excited to welcome Delaney O’Brien, our new 4th grade teacher at Northside Elementary. O’Brien, who attended Spoon River College and graduated from Western Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science in elementary education, has been a substitute teacher for all grade levels, as well as a daycare teacher. She did her block teaching at Lincoln Elementary in Macomb and completed her student teaching at West Prairie South Elementary in Colchester.
“The best part about teaching is seeing the spark in students’ eyes when they are learning,” O’Brien says. “That ‘a-ha!’ moment is priceless for teachers, and it’s memorable for students as well. I aim to motivate students by creating a positive, welcoming classroom environment where growth is encouraged and prioritized. I am so excited to join the incredible staff at Northside this school year!”
