Homeschooling Illinois - Legislation and Learning (HILL)

This is a place to come together and work towards keeping Illinois one of the best homeschool states in the nation. All grassroot efforts need a way to communicate to be effective and we hope to use this forum to keep in touch with other homeschoolers and our legislators here in the State of Illinois. We will follow both Federal and State Legislation and attempt to make an impact. To receive alert emails please email homeschoolillinois [at] insightbb [dot] com

Chicago Area National Merit Semi-Finalists

The Sun Times noted a couple (that's what I found, there might be more) Chicago area homeschooled seniors who were named Merit semifinalists.

Congrats to Janelle Jenkins of Winfield and Lincoln Stannard of Chicago.

These high school seniors may compete for $33 million in Merit Scholarship awards that will be offered next spring. Approximately 15,000 semifinalists nationally will advance to the finalist level, and it is from this group that all Merit Scholarship winners will be chosen.
