By Pamela Lannom [email protected] What did coaching and teaching mean to the late Rex Whitlatch? Everything, his wife, Nancy, said. "Coaching and teaching came first. I came second.

The two met when they were in their teens, when Whitlatch was competing on the high school team. "It's all I ever knew," she said. Whitlatch, a husband, father and legendary coach,...

Preliminary data from the Illinois School Report Card reveals that Hinsdale Central’s graduation rate remains high while the school’s SAT scores have slipped. The report card was released Oct. 29 with limited information, including the rate of ninth-graders who are on track to graduate. At Central, 99 percent of ninth-graders are on track to graduate, which means they have earned at least five full-year course credits (10 semester credits) and have earned no more than one semester “F” in a core course (English, math, science...

It's that time of year for seniors - college application season. College applications are many things, one of which is not easy. Speaking from experience, they're a bit of a chore - sort of like cleaning my room, with added importance, of course. My room appears as if a hurricane spiraled through, with piles of laundry, snacks and my dog's footprints. I ignore my mom's texts to tidy up until she pounds on my door. I hear a constant knocking these days, reminding me to get...

We are baffled. We’ve watched and listened to the discussion of grading practices in Hinsdale High School District 86 from the Sept. 30 and Oct. 14 board meetings. We’ve been attending and reporting on school board meetings for decades, both at The Hinsdalean and other community newspapers. Typically when a board falls into a pattern of ill-tempered meetings that exceed four hours, it’s pretty easy to figure out the source and motivation behind the dysfunction. But that’s not the case with the current D86 board. Three b...

Ainsley and I took advantage of having Columbus Day off to do some back-to-school shopping. We headed to Yorktown, primarily motivated by the bubble tea store there. (We had visited the same spot Sunday, but misguided ordering had left Ainsley with a thick, sludgy drink rather than one filled with tiny bubbles that burst when you bite them. She wanted a make good.) A neighbor who also is the mom of a tall girl had given me some recommendations on stores we might visit. At our...

The 28-year-old who returned to her hometown to be inducted into the Hinsdale Central Hall of Fame is first and foremost a student,...

A new set of grading practices has opened the latest schism among Hinsdale High School District 86 Board members. At the Sept. 30 board meeting, district administrators reviewed the grading framework that, among other provisions, eliminates zeros from the grading scale. It also establishes that summative assessments used to gauge a student’s mastery of content, like unit tests and labs, account for at least 70 percent of a student’s grade, and formative preparation such as homework and class participation constitute no mor...
