On July 1, 2013, Dr. Ken Sorensen will become the new associate principal for operations at North High. The District 99 Board of Education approved Sorensen’s promotion at its business meeting on March 18, 2013. He will replace Dr. Chuck Hiscock, who has been named the new principal of West Aurora High School in Aurora, Illinois.
In his new capacity on the District 99 administrative team, Sorensen will oversee all facets of operations, technology and student discipline as well as personnel management at the school.
Sorensen joined North High in 2005, serving as assistant principal in charge of student activities and technology. He has been responsible for leading all student activities, including extra/co-curricular activities, assemblies and events, as well as technology at the school. Previously, Sorensen worked at Maine South High School in Park Ridge.
Sorensen holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Loyola University of Chicago and a B.S. in microbiology from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
“I am excited about the challenge of new responsibilities and the opportunity to continue to serve our outstanding students, staff and community,” says Sorensen. “North High is a special place, and my goal is to uphold our long tradition of quality and excellence.”
“Ken has done an outstanding job as our assistant principal for student activities, and I know he will bring the same level of dedication, commitment, and achievement to his role as associate principal,” says Principal Scott Kasik.
