Our AVID Site Team showcased the culmination of their collaborative efforts during a recent certification visit. The testimonials shared by current AVID students, tutors, alum, teachers, counselors, administrators, and a parent highlighted the level of support and commitment that our site team provides throughout our school community. Our AVID students were proud to share that participation in AVID equips them with the college-readiness skills and resources to help themselves and their peers. Overall, the entire visit illustrated the layered effect that comes with of years of progressive AVID implementation.
Water polo is one of the toughest and most demanding sports an athlete can play. Being an Illinois water polo athlete is an awesome athletic opportunity. We are proud to host great water polo teams here at Curie HS. At the conclusion of each high school season, IWP sponsors an All-Star competition between Illinois All-State Top 40 Boy and Girl Athletes. At this time, we'd like to congratulate a few of our Boys Water Polo athletes who will compete as members of the All-Star and Illinois state-level teams.
Congratulations to Jose Servin who was named to the All-State 3rd Team by Illinois Water Polo!
Congratulations to our Lyons Township IHSA All-Sectional team members selected by Illinois Water Polo:
Jose Servin - 1st Team
Sebastian Chaidez - 2nd Team

Each of these students has demonstrated exemplary athleticism in their sport. They demonstrate the Curie Way and all of them are eligible to receive athletic scholarships to compete at the collegiate level because they each have an unweighted GPA that exceeds the minimum 2.3 GPA eligibility criteria for the NCAA Eligibility Clearinghouse.

This past weekend, our lady Condors were treated to a pre-game celebration dinner at Pizano's (South Loop) and honored at center court during halftime at the WNBA Chicago Sky season opening game. Our girls basketball team received recognition as "High School Team of the Week" as well as a nomination for "High School Team of the Year". “Our team wants to be remembered for hopefully being the first girls basketball team out of Curie to go to win our conference,” said Raegan King, who nominated the team for the honor. To Coach Brooks and our lady Condors, thank you for serving as an inspiration to others by making a positive impact in the Curie community and redefining possible for those around you.

If you would like more information about joining the Spanish Honor Society (Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica), please contact Mr. Drop and/or Ms. Urquiza.
