About Us<br />
Dear Friends:<br />
The 2010-2011 school year is in full swing and our current students are<br />
enjoying an abundance of opportunities thanks in part to the inspired<br />
investment of our venerable alumni and friends.<br />
As the state's public education funding crisis advances, ETHS continues to<br />
practice superior fiscal management while it staves off budget cuts and<br />
shortfalls with private philanthropy.<br />
We hope that you will consider making a gift in support of ETHS. There are<br />
numerous ways that you can contribute including planned and memorial gifts<br />
as well as corporate sponsorships. Gifts from individuals and local businesses<br />
have allowed the ETHS <strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> to provide funding for the<br />
following in the past year:<br />
Renovation of the Special Education Transition House<br />
Vocational education certificate programs in the fields of<br />
automotive technology, early childhood education and culinary arts.<br />
Scholarship fund for students going on to study nursing in an<br />
accredited post secondary nursing program or college.<br />
Through individual, corporate,<br />
and foundation gifts, the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> is able to raise and<br />
distribute funds to the high<br />
school in order to complement,<br />
enhance and enrich beyond the<br />
means of conventional public<br />
funding, opportunities that<br />
further the educational mission of<br />
<strong>Evanston</strong> <strong>Township</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />

Construction of the new Student Commons and bike compound<br />

systems throughout our 60 acre campus.<br />

Our newest initiative is raising funds for ETHS's science labs and the the<br />
development of a renewable energy education lab program, dedicated to<br />
providing students with basic knowledge of renewable energy resources.<br />
Funds from the <strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> will support construction of an<br />
accessible, on-site field ecology education lab. The lab provides essential<br />
curricular supports such as storage, equipment access, laboratory and research<br />
space, multimedia capabilities and computer technologies.<br />
The renewable energy education lab will educate students on PV solar and<br />
wind electrical generation, solar hot water heating, and geothermal climate<br />
control systems.<br />

ETHS <strong>Foundation</strong> Hosts Century Bike Ride<br />
A record 2,300 cyclists<br />
descended upon <strong>Evanston</strong><br />
<strong>Township</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to<br />
participate in the <strong>Evanston</strong><br />
Bike Club's annual North Shore<br />
Century ride.<br />
In true ETHS spirit, teachers,<br />
students and <strong>Educational</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> board members<br />
rallied. They enjoyed a sunny<br />
and 65 degree day of cycling<br />
and helped raise money to<br />
support the ETHS Special<br />
Education Transition House. The facility provides a home setting for<br />
developmentally disabled young adults, aged 18-22, to learn the life skills<br />
necessary for leading semi-independent lives.<br />

Celebrating Community Partnerships<br />
The Autobarn of <strong>Evanston</strong> has really come through for ETHS! Chris Klbecka,<br />
Parts and Service Director, actively involved in our efforts to become and<br />
Automotive Service Excellence certified high school through the National<br />
Automotive Technicians Education <strong>Foundation</strong> (NATEF). According to Chris, "We<br />
will continue to find ways to help support not only the automotive program<br />
but the whole school. We currently run a job shadow day two times a year and<br />
also employ three students. It's nice to be able to help with potential<br />
opportunities for the youth of today who will be in the work force sooner than<br />
we realize."<br />
Additionally, Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry Design Ltd. was the inspiration<br />
behind the acknowledgment gift given to members of the newly established<br />
Boltwood Society. Mr. Duquet designed and created the beautiful sterling<br />
silver pins (lapel pin for men and larger pin for women). He has donated his<br />
time, talents and these new treasures to the <strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
