Jim Horan, teacher of music in Pennington's Arts department, has created several new opportunities for students to get more involved with vocal music.

Teachers of English Stephanie Cohen and Erin O'Connell and Teacher of Mathematics Len Leib were selected as 2021 University of Chicago Outstanding Educators. The university offers newly admitted students the opportunity to nominate teachers who have made an impact in their lives.

Additionally, Michael Aponte, Gabrielle Gilmore, Kristen Lopez-Watt, Daniel McKeown, Susan Schneider, and Kathleen Yates have joined the staff.
