An important message from Principal Dr. Johansen
Dear South Elgin High Students, Parents, and Community,
It is with sincere gratitude for the years of service to South Elgin High School that I inform you that I will not be returning to South Elgin High School next school year. I have accepted the position of Superintendent at West Chicago Community High School District 94 starting with the 2024-25 school year.
I am grateful for the four school years working alongside you in supporting our communities. Together, we have been able to persevere through unprecedented challenges and tragic losses, but through it all, we managed to find the strength to come together for each other, our students, and the greater South Elgin Community. I am grateful to have been a small part of the STORM Family over the past four years, and I will cherish the relationships that have evolved during this time.
I will continue to serve as the principal of South Elgin High through June 2024 and will finish the school year alongside our teams, ensuring a strong close of the year and supporting the transition of the next leader for our South Elgin High community.
I would like to say “thank you” for these amazing years. I have no doubt that South Elgin High will continue leading with all of your support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kurt Johansen
