The Introduction to Education class and Future Educator Club attended the annual Illinois State University Future Teacher Conference with Mrs. Johnson and Dr. Dail. They enjoyed listening to special guest speakers, learning about a variety of education pathways, and watching the Gamma Phi circus perform! Many of these current SHS students hope to someday have classrooms of their own. Lets hope they all come back to Sterling Public Schools 💙🍎💛
