Somonauk Bobcat Fans
You CAN watch our Bobcats play basketball this season! It just may be in the comforts of your own home. Somonauk High School purchased a gymnasium camera that will live stream our home athletic events. Even better news, the majority of the schools in the Little Ten Conference also have the ability to live stream as well for away games. These games will be broadcast on the NFHS Network through a paid subscription.

Heartland Bank & Trust Company has sponsored our Somonauk High School ESports Den/Team with a $1000 donation. Through those funds we were able to add 5 HD Monitors and upgraded 4 PC computers with additional memory and HD video cards. These updates are allowing our Bobcat ESports Team to be competing at a high level, with one team currently competing as the 15th ranked team in Fortnite in the nation.
Congratulations to Christian Krider for being selected Project SEARCH Intern of the Month. He has a positive attitude, asks for help, and completes his tasks independently. Excellent work Christian!

VETERANS DAY 2020
Somonauk Community Unit School District #432 would like to honor our United States Veterans during the week of Veterans Day. While our annual school assembly cannot take place in person this year, we would still like to acknowledge our local veterans who selflessly served our country. Please help us pay tribute to them in a virtual ceremony by sending a digital photo or two, possibly “then” and “now”, of a veteran that you know, as well as branch served, time period, and any special recognition (i.e., Lt. John Patrick, Army, 1965-1969, 2 Bronze Stars)
Somonauk School District values the service of our Veterans, we look forward to honoring them and their families this year. Please send the pictures to nesse@somonauk.net by November 2, 2020, in order to be included in the presentation.
Congratulations to IVVC Outstanding Fall 2020 Students
