Friday Focus - Community Engagement
On Monday night, Zach Crandall and several students participated in the Village of Buffalo Grove Civics Forum, listening to several departments pitch their use of grant funds for a project, and the students themselves made the choice of who would receive the funds!

The Daily Herald, October 21, 2017
It is many of the the usual suspects -- joined by a pair of teams that had been in long postseason droughts -- in the Illinois High School Association football playoff pairings, which were announced Saturday. Barrington, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Hoffman Estates and St. Viator, all of which qualified last year, earned berths again this year. Also in are Maine West, which has not qualified since 2002 and Buffalo Grove, which has not qualified since 2003. Read Story

Zach Sheasby had quite a fourth quarter Friday night at Rolling Meadows. First the Buffalo Grove senior caught a touchdown pass from his wide receiver position midway through the final period to give the Bison their first lead of the game. Minutes later, now playing defensive back, Sheasby intercepted a Mustangs pass in BG territory to stop a Meadows drive. Read Story
