COLLEGE NIGHT - SEPTEMBER 12

Join us and representatives from 180+ schools for College Night at Maine West

TONIGHT from 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. This event is great for all grade levels to attend so that you can begin to learn more about different colleges. Financial aid presentations will be taking place at 6:45 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. in both English and Spanish. Bring your families and your friends!

MAINE WEST BOYS GOLF EXCITED TO MAKE HISTORIC NIGHT DEBUT

In the over 100 years the sport has been sanctioned by the Illinois High School Association, there have been exactly zero events that have taken place at night…until now.  Maine West hosts Highland Park at 7 p.m. Friday at Golf Center Des Plaines in the state’s inaugural night meet in boys golf.  Most golf courses don’t have lights, so meets traditionally end once the sun goes down. The Golf Center course is nine holes and well lit, setting up the historic opportunity.

BLOOD DRIVE:  The first blood drive of the school year is Friday from 10-2:30 in B-wing gym.
