CHAMPIONS! Congratulations to our CICS Northtown Academy Varsity Boys Volleyball team on winning the Little Village Tournament Championship! Amazing effort and teamwork on the court. Special thanks to Coach Tomlinson and Assistant Coach Cristi for your leadership and commitment to these student-athletes. We're proud of you!

We're thrilled to celebrate Caragh F. and Ky T., CICS Northtown Academy juniors who have been selected as 2026 Cubs Scholars! This prestigious honor is awarded to just a dozen Chicago high school juniors each year. As Cubs Scholars, both students will receive a $20,000 scholarship upon enrolling in a four-year college or university, along with access to Cubs College Prep programming and mentorship from Cubs mentors. Congratulations to both of you—we can't wait to see where your ambitions take you!

🎉 Huge congratulations to Carter R. and Sahni B.!

These two exceptional CICS Wrightwood scholars have been accepted to The Academy Group—a selective program that provides mentorship, internships, career development, and a college scholarship through college.

When young people are seen, challenged, and supported, there's no limit to what they can achieve. We're so proud of your hard work and excited for what's ahead! 💙
