Akash,
To tell the truth it has been there so long I don't remember. However, our lead teacher is a department head and has some pull. At one time there were two department heads involved in the program. Wildstang is made up of students from two schools, the Wheeling
WILDcats and the Rolling Meadows Mu
STANGs. Wheeling had a principal for several years who was not fully with the program so there is just a little trophy case there, near the tech lab. Banners hang at both schools.
I can't understand how any institution whose sole purpose is the education of the community's students would not want to celebrate a student achievement. It would seem to me that reluctance to show off a sign of achievement is hypocritical. Schools should celebrate students. A wise man once told me you can tell just by walking down the hall if a school is an institution that puts the students first. If it is decorated with student art and achievement and you can literally see very little of the wall surface, then the school is a monument to education. If the walls are bare and there is no sign of student activity then the school is simply a monument, an edifice, a cold building where no one wants to go.
