Downers Grove North High School at 4436 Main Street, Downers Grove, Illinois.

So I am an alumni from this school. They did a great job at providing us with extra curriculars activities and great teachers that cared about their subjects. When it came to the way they handled students issues, they never seemed to care about the facts.

For example when I went to school here I played for the football team and received a concussion that landed me in the hospital for a few days. A side effect from this concussion was crippling migraines that I would need to stay home with. The medicine needed would take me out for the count. I had gotten a doctor's not that stated I had an on going medical condition. The deans however felt differently and wrote me tickets for every day I was late or missed. These tickets totaled 1100 dollars. The deans told my single parent that they should quit their job to "get their problem son to school" even though my doctor had written said note excusing me for an on going condition. Or when the Dean told me if I couldn't get a death certificate for my grandma's funeral to take a picture with said dead grandmother. The lack of empathy amongst the deans was the area that killed my ability to enjoy going to highschool here.
I loved the teachers, loved the events, love the sports, but did not enjoy the deans. Hopefully this has been fixed since I graduated but if not the administration should take a look into providing better empathy towards individual students needs. Not everyone is a problem child ;)
