Monday, October 05, 2009 American School Receives Centennial Award This past weekend, the Illinois State Historical Society presented the American School with a Centennial Award in recognition of the School's 107 years of business in the state of Illinois. Originally founded in Boston in 1897, the School moved to Chicago in 1902 as part of a 5-year collaborative experiment with the Armour Institute of Technology, and the School has been headquartered in Illinois ever since. The American School is one of just 24 businesses or groups to receive a Centennial Award this year. Not only is this a significant achievement for the School, but it's a significant achievement for our past, present and future students as well. It's a sign that the American School has existed for a long time in part because it has adapted to the changing times. This is evident in recent years as the School has expanded its online presence, and we look forward to serving our students in the years to come. |
