Stevenson High School which feeds from Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Hawthorne Woods, Kildeer and parts of Vernon Hills has had a great 2010 so far.   Newsweek’s America”s Best HS 2010 ranked Stevenson HS in Lincolnshire #167.  This is the sixth year that Stevenson has made the top 200 list.   Located in Lake County Illinois Stevenson is one of only three Illinois high schools to appear in the top 200 in each of the past fave years.

Stevenson High School’s 45th year is one of its finest.  The  Class of 2010 received more the $16.5 million in scholarships. Four seniors were National Merit Scholars and 365 were named Illinois State Scholars.

Good Charity work rounds out the spirit of Stevenson with more than $5,000 raised for Haiti.

Hello, I’m officially putting out the welcome mat to my blog!

I’m here to give you an insider’s sneak peek at what’s going on in this exciting area and all of the wonderful amenities and services that it has to offer. I’ll keep you updated on all of the great things happening that make the northwest suburbs special.

Like the new winery opening up in the Long Grove shops and the downtown Long Grove chocolate and apple festivals which are fun for the whole family. I’ll also let you know about what makes this area one of the top places to live.

Not many places can lay claim to a great new High School like Vernon Hills High School. It’s just a few years old and has a state of the art theatre. Also I will keep you up to date on the award winning Stevenson High School and all of the great pre-schools for the little ones.
