This March, Rich Township High School District 227 is celebrating HERstory by honoring the incredible women who learn, lead, serve, and inspire across our district. Today, we’re proud to recognize:

💜 Staff Spotlight: Angela Kus
Ms. Kus goes above and beyond to strengthen the IB pathway through academic support and powerful student-centered initiatives. She’s launched and coordinated efforts like IB Peer Mentoring, the IB Student Leadership Council, curriculum-based field trips (including volunteer/chaperone coordination), the IB Newsletter, and an upcoming IB Wellness Summit. Known as the “glue” of the IB department, Ms. Kus brings top-tier organization and the courage to speak up for practices that best support students, while also building leadership capacity in others.

💜 Staff Spotlight: Angie Tapley
Ms. Tapley brings learning to life through hands-on chemistry experiences and consistent support for students. She’s a steady leader in our department as the Chemistry Marzano team lead, helping guide the creation of clear scales through ongoing PD and collaboration. Beyond the classroom, she is the kind of educator students can count on, listening, encouraging, and stepping in with support when they need it most. Her passion, positivity, and reliability make a lasting impact.

💜 Student Spotlight: BreiYelle “Bri” Ford
Bri is being recognized for her resilience, maturity, and determination. After being severely credit deficient, she worked her way out of night school and continues to push forward, bringing her GPA up and earning strong grades, including a B in an honors course. Bri leads through her actions: balancing school and employment, staying accountable, and motivating others with her positive attitude. She’s a role model for perseverance and goal setting.

We are proud to honor these amazing women and thank them for the difference they make at Rich Township.

This March, Rich Township High School District 227 is celebrating HERstory by honoring the incredible women who learn, lead, serve, and inspire across our district. Today, we’re proud to recognize:

💜 Staff Spotlight: Alex Wilks
Alex is an amazing mentor whose authentic self shows up in every space she occupies.

Alex continues to serve at the district, regional, and state levels, supporting policies, procedures, and advocacy for the education profession. She also serves as the Sophomore Class Sponsor and Assistant Sponsor for Girls Mentoring. Alex speaks up, fights for fairness, and gives generously of her time, talent, and resources, she’s the “real deal,” and her tireless efforts are unmatched.

💜 Staff Spotlight: Alexis Garrett
Ms. Garrett embodies the spirit of Women’s History Month through her leadership, advocacy, and consistent commitment to uplifting others. She mentors and sponsors colleagues, especially women, by offering honest guidance, sharing opportunities, and supporting growth, even behind the scenes. She speaks up for fair and inclusive practices, advocates for underrepresented voices, and helps create safer, more equitable outcomes for students and staff. Personally and professionally, Alexis keeps people connected and supported by anticipating needs, fostering collaboration, and stepping in wherever help is needed, building trust, stability, and belonging across our community.

💜 Student Spotlight: Opeyemi Badejo
Opeyemi is recognized for her perseverance and excellence as a four-year IB student and for the way she leads across our school community. She serves as VP of the Senior Class, President of Key Club, VP of Student Council, a member of the IB Leadership Council, and a Circle Group Peace Leader. Opeyemi supports peers by noticing who may feel withdrawn and helping them feel seen and included. She also leads through action, stepping in to support staff and peers when it mattered most. Opeyemi consistently leads with maturity, confidence, and character.

We are proud to honor these amazing women and thank them for the difference they make at Rich Township.
