Hi:

For some the daily engagement with young people is quite challenging.  For me, it is fulfilling.  I am, Trina Hollingsworth, a Chicago Public Schools Graduate.  I attended James McCosh Elementary School from Kdg. through grade 8.  I graduated from Chicago Vocational High School majoring in Secretariel Practice and went on to college.  My Bachelor's Degree is from Roosevelt University in Education. I also completed course in the Masters of Public Administration Program at Illinois Institute of Technology.  I received a Type 75 (Administrative Certificate) after completing a Masters Degree at Northeastern Illinois University in a little over a year.  In May of 2009, I will receive a doctorate in Educational Leadership in the first doctorate program at Chicago State University.

In my daily encounters with our young people I stress to them the doors that will open to them if they become highly educated or trained in the line of work they find fulfilling.  It is important that real life situations are introduced to our students to enable them to make choices about their behavior, their choices of careers, and their continued quest to be life long learners.

I am proud to be a member of the staff at this school.  Every student knows that I have their best interest at heart.  Each day I make it my motto to reach out and touch every one of our students, one child at a time.
