Patch recognizes a couple hundred of the Wheaton seniors for their insane smarts, athletic prowess, exploring their inner do-gooder and everything else that makes us proud. And if we missed someone, it's ridiculously easy to add your superstar.
Today is graduation day in Wheaton. Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South high school graduates of the Class of 2012 will toss up their hats, hug, cry, stir and laugh over memories of high school. And if you're just glad that nonsense is finally over and thinking, 'now it's on to the good stuff'—you're not alone, either. There are so many of you grads, and unfortunately, I can only shout out to a couple hundred seniors that we've recognized in the past year for their impeccable brainpower, their athletic prowess or their impressive humanitarianism. So, I hope a few proud parents, siblings, teachers, coaches and friends can add a little something about their superstars in the comments, and add some photos from the day's festivities…

Head coach Ron Muhitch said his team played well at times, but made too many mistakes against a tough Titans team.
CHAMPAIGN—The Wheaton Warrenville South Tigers fell short of winning their third straight title when they lost 21-14 to Rockford Boylan Saturday in the 7A state finals. The Tigers’ (10-3) nine-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the Titans (14-0), who won the 6A state title in 2010 and their last 28. “Any team that goes undefeated at any level, they are doing some things right,” Wheaton South coach Ron Muhitch said. “They have a 28-game winning streak for a reason. They are absolutely great. When you play a great team, you have to be perfect in what you do. The Tigers didn’t play real well today at certain times. We did have mistakes that kept us from being up to par with a team like Rockford.” The game began with Rockford …

Lincoln-Way East could not top the Thaddeus Armstrong-to-Sam Prete connection that proved to be the game-winning score. Jack Lipinsky sacked the QB three times.
Breaking it Down: The Tigers only scored seven points Friday night, but they were the only points needed to advance to the next round of the high school playoffs. Early in the second quarter, Wheaton Warrenville South's Nick Campos hammered a 56-yard punt down to the Lincoln-Way East 3-yard line. The Tigers forced the Griffins to a three-and-out, and after a short punt took possession at the Lincoln-Way East 24-yard line. On third-down-and-three on the 17-yard line, Wheaton Warrenville South quarterback Thaddeus Armstrong connected with Sam Prete on a touchdown pass. After the successful PAT from Tyler Cook, the Tigers led 7-0. That would conclude the scoring on the night. Lincoln-Way East (10-1) had William Will attempt 38-yard and 46-…

I have been teaching for a long time and we spend too much time prepping for tests and not enough time on critical thinking skills. As a Social Studies teacher and Debate Coach I am sad about these developments. I graduated from Wheaton North and I feel I was well … more ›
