Robertson ready to<br />

take reins at <strong>HP</strong>HS<br />

Courtney Jacquin, Editor<br />

Dr. Elizabeth Perez<br />

Robertson has a story like<br />

many students in Township<br />

District 113.<br />

In the 1960s, Robertson’s<br />

parents and two older<br />

sisters left Cuba, seeking<br />

asylum in the United<br />

States. While Robertson<br />

was born in the U.S., she<br />

saw the struggles her family<br />

went through, and she<br />

carries that with her today.<br />

“To see my sisters go<br />

through what we often see<br />

in our district, students<br />

that are coming here and<br />

wanting the same things<br />

that my parents wanted —<br />

a great education for their<br />

kids — and yet having<br />

those struggles of assimilating<br />

and trying to learn<br />

the language and trying to<br />

succeed,” Robertson said.<br />

“So fast forward to now,<br />

to be in this position where<br />

I can help those families,<br />

and I totally understand<br />

what it means.”<br />

Robertson officially began<br />

her new role as Highland<br />

Park High School<br />

principal July 1, taking<br />

over for Dr. Tom Koulentes,<br />

who will start at Libertyville<br />

High School as<br />

principal in the fall.<br />

Though some may not<br />

be familiar with Robertson,<br />

she’s a veteran of the<br />

district.<br />

From 2008-11, she<br />

served as an assistant principal<br />

at <strong>HP</strong>HS, overseeing<br />

the Science, World Language,<br />

Library, Technology<br />

and Counseling departments.<br />

In 2011, when the district<br />

was forced to reduce<br />

the number of assistant<br />

principals in each high<br />

school, Robertson was<br />

appointed World Language<br />

Department Chair<br />

at Deerfield High School.<br />

As the Department Chair,<br />

she worked alongside students,<br />

parents, teachers<br />

and staff.<br />

“I have been in this<br />

building before, so it’s<br />

like coming home for me,”<br />

Robertson said.<br />

On top of that, she has a<br />

total of 30 years of experience<br />

in teaching and administration,<br />

starting her<br />

career at Niles West High<br />

School and Adlai E. Stevenson<br />

High School before<br />

coming to D113.<br />

Robertson’s major goal<br />

for her first year in the<br />

position is relationship<br />

building. Though she’s<br />

returning to familiar halls,<br />

her new role will present<br />

unique challenges.<br />

“I want to be out in the<br />

building,” she said. “I<br />

don’t want to be in my office.<br />

I’ve never been that<br />

kind of administrator anyway.<br />

... So I would say my<br />

two main goals are to be<br />
