Tomorrow is now | 13 To movE ForwArd, wE FirsT Look BACk Latin School was formed in 1888 when a group of parents in Chicago enlisted Mabel Slade Vickery, a teacher from the East Coast, to take charge of a new, parent-owned school. Since that time the school has grown to become a nationally recognized, co-ed, junior kindergarten through twelfth grade independent school serving more than 1,100 students led by 160 faculty members. Since that first day of school in 1888, everything about the world around us has changed−but the heart of Latin School and the essence of its mission remains. Joined by a Common Cause Teachers from around the world, with backgrounds in both academic and practical applications, come to Latin for a chance to practice their craft the way it should be practiced: with passion, creativity and collaboration. Students walk through Latin's doors to define their dreams and achieve more than they thought possible. Families come to Latin to be part of a community of people who share their profound commitment to education. Joined by our common cause, we have built a school that stands apart. With gratitude, we acknowledge those before us and, in equal measure, we recognize our responsibility to Latin's history, building a strong foundation for the next generation of Romans. our shared responsibility Latin and its clear vision are the work of generations. From the first group of dedicated individuals who opened the doors in 1888 to every succeeding Latin teacher, student and family, Latin has become stronger, broader and more relevant. ose who have come before us put their ideas, energies and resources into the school our children enjoy today. And every day, every Latin student benefits from that vision and personal investment. Now it's our turn to live up to Latin's history of wise giving, so that the next generation of Latin students has the necessary resources to succeed. It's time for us to look to Latin's future, commit ourselves to a bold vision, and take on the most important challenges facing our school in the years ahead. Help secure our future, now. invest in our students, our faculty and our programs.
