We are thrilled to congratulate Anna Marie Candelario for her outstanding recognition as a spotlight administrator at the Illinois Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (IALAS) 8th Annual Statewide Conference! Anna Marie currently leads as the Director of Planning and Development in our district, the 7th largest in Illinois. Her dedication to fostering inclusive learning environments shines through her innovative initiatives, including the Teacher and Leadership Grow-Your-Own program, which focuses on recruiting and retaining diverse talent. Her commitment to equity has been a consistent theme throughout her career, with significant contributions in her former roles as Assistant Director and Director of Student Services, where she worked tirelessly to bridge gaps in educational outcomes. A mentor to aspiring Latino leaders and an active member of educational affiliations like ALAS, Women Leading Ed, and our own district's DEI committee, Anna Marie's impact extends beyond our schools. She also volunteers with Braven, aiding first-generation college students in developing essential workforce skills. Thank you, Dr. Bryan Zwemke and Mayra Reyes from SD308 HR, for being there in person to celebrate this significant achievement. Let's all commend Anna Marie’s outstanding contributions and her relentless commitment to excellence and equity in education.
