Students Honored by their Principals at Illinois Principals Association Breakfast

Posted Date: 05/01/26 (01:28 PM)

On Monday, April 27, Collinsville CUSD 10 principals gathered for the IPA Southwestern Region Student Recognition Breakfast.

The IPA Student Recognition Breakfast is a special tradition where principals get to say "thank you" to a student or students who help make our schools great. It is a morning of community, family and celebration.

IPA members invite students to be their guests at the breakfast. Whether it’s one representative from our smaller schools or two from our larger ones, each student represents the best of The Kahok Way.

Congratulations to our 2026 IPA Student Recognition Award winners
