Buffalo Grove: The Bison are here for the second consecutive season, third in the last four years, and the seventh in program history. The last time the Bison carried off the big trophy was 30 years ago when then-junior Brian McBride led his teammates to the state title. McBride would later go on to become one of the best ever U.S. National Team players, and a star while playing for Fulham in the English Premier League.

Connor Adams helps Buffalo Grove get back on track against Prospect
Chicago Tribune, October 5, 2018
Late in the fourth quarter Friday night, Buffalo Grove quarterback Connor Adams darted to his right, stopped for a second and briefly pondered throwing a risky pass. He soon was engulfed by a sea of Prospect defenders, but Buffalo Grove still had the ball. As a few Prospect players spent a few extra seconds enjoying the moment, Adams calmly walked back to the huddle. After all, his Bison were on their way to a 27-7 victory in Mid-Suburban East play.

2. What department have you/do you work in? I teach German 2 in the World Languages Department at Buffalo Grove High School, and Geometry at Wheeling High School.
3. How long have you been working at BG? This is my 7th year at Buffalo Grove High School. I really like this school, the atmosphere is very positive and learning oriented.
4. Where did you go to high school? Barrington High School
5. What part of teaching at BG do you find the most rewarding? I love teaching German because we have a great sense of community with the kids who take German, and some of the students get really creative with the language and have fun with it. It’s also very gratifying to see how much vocabulary and skills every student picks up by the end of each unit. In general, I love teaching when the light bulb goes on and students “get it”. I am excited to be teaching Math again after taking a break from it for several years, because I enjoy sharing my love of Math with students and helping them be successful.
6. What is something unique about you? I am a beekeeper. My family has honeybees in Algonquin, and we just extracted honey from our two hives a few weeks ago.
7. What activities or clubs do you coach/ sponsor? I am cosponsor of the German club here at Buffalo Grove High School. Outside of school, I teach German folk dancing and singing to children ages 3 to 14.
