Students from Waukegan, North Chicago, Stevenson, Libertyville and Mundelein high schools got to showcase what they have learned about government and civics this year in front of hundreds of attendees, including Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Friday in Waukegan.
Students made their cases about a variety of issues affecting society or their school communities, from mental health and motivation, to Waukegan roads and student parking.
“First of all, so impressive, the range of projects and the focus on issues that really matter in the community,” Prizker said. “Mental health, substance treatment, trying to address the problem of needing a new high school and some support for renovating the whole campus here. I’m very impressed with the civic-mindedness and how smart these kids are. Just a terrific day.”Gov. J.B. Pritzker speaks with Lake County students during the Mikva Challenge on April 21, 2023, at Waukegan High School.
Perry said a survey showed that some students were unmotivated and uninterested in their classes, which they attributed to doing poorly in them. Out of 51 students they surveyed, 41.2% reported being unmotivated or disinterested in courses as the primary reason for failing grades. Plenty of local politicians, including Waukegan Mayor Ann Taylor and Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart, stopped in to observe in the projects.
