Generous Cross Country Donation!!!
On August 12th, four members of the cross country team and Coach Kopec were at a local eating establishment talking about the 2010 season. Practices, sheduling meets, uniforms, and team unity were discussed. A fellow restaurant patron overheard the conversation and concerns and gave a GENEROUS donation to the team.
We'd like to thank her kindness; and remind people it is okay to "panic" - you never know who is listening! Thanks again!

Rickover's Summer Reading Program
Once again, Rickover cadets will have the opportunity to develop independence in reading and study skills while improving their vocabulary by participating in the Rickover Summer Reading Program. Rickover cadets can choose from a list of books selected by the Social Science teachers & NJROTC instructors. The books should be read during the summer and in September, can earn credit for the first assignments of these courses if they successfully complete a simple quiz to show proof of reading.
Please click on this article to view the Summer Program Parent letter and the list of books offered for this program. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Cleary at mcleary@cps.edu.
We at Rickover wish you all a safe and learning summer!

Rickover welcomes Vice Admiral Daly, Deputy Commander, US Fleet Forces Command
Rickover was honored to have as our guest Vice Admiral Daly on May 28. Cadet Alvarez has filed the following report on the Vice Admiral's visit:
Serving 33 years in the Navy, Vice Admiral Daly returns to Chicago to visit Rickover Naval Academy. Throughout his visit, Vice Admiral Daly was glad to see that Rickover had strong structure and a good curriculum. In addition, Vice Admiral Daly believed that Rickover is a school within a school that serves a special purpose: this special purpose being that cadets are exposed to the military concept without the pressure of joining the military. Vice Admiral Daly liked that about Rickover and loved the fact that the structure of our school is based on teamwork and discipline.
Lastly, before Vice Admiral Daly's departure, he wanted to share some advice with the cadets. He said, "Use your time well, do not think to yourself, I am just in high school...aspire to be excellent. Remember life is about choices, the more excellent you are the better choices you make. More doors will open for you when you are excellent."
Thank you for your visit, Vice Admiral Daly.
