To the D86 Community,
Like many before us, my wife and I chose to move our family to Hinsdale (and D86 in particular) for all that it has to offer. From the town’s strong sense of community, friendly neighborhood vibes and welcoming local atmosphere, to the added benefits of a renowned school system, each offered added appeal. Now with my 3 children on the verge of entering D86, it’s imperative to me and the community at large, to not take this for granted. With the 21st century challenges that schools face, it’s more important than ever that schools offer a safe environment for all students, continue to deliver on their strong academic programs, while improving their diversity of extracurricular options in athletics and the arts for students to thrive. As an experienced manufacturing professional with a background in operational excellence and continuous improvement, I look to leverage my skillset in service of the community. As a partner with Superintendent Lach and fellow board members we can ensure a more sustainable future for D86, manifesting our values in high-quality education.
Sincerely,
Andrew Catton
