162, has been named the 2008 Illinois Superintendent of the Year. The award
is sponsored by the Illinois Association of School Administrators.
Dr. Davis was
selected from among more than 800 Illinois superintendents. Dr. Davis
credits her success to working with a dedicated staff, supportive parents
and a Board of Education with a vision.

appointed superintendent of District 162 in 2002. She took over a district
that had experienced rapid increases in enrollment and significant
demographic changes. In 2007, District 162 schools were ranked among the top
10 school districts in the south suburban area of Chicago, based on

the spring ISAT. Illinois Elementary posted 93.9%.
We
congratulate Dr. Davis and her district on the recognition of their
accomplishment.
