At the start of the 2019-2020 school year, we successfully moved into our new building! Our new address is 550 Lake Cook Road in Deerfield. We are now located in the Old Berto Center, which is also known as the famous Chicago Bulls practice space. For footage of where Chicago Bulls history took place at the facility, we recommend watching the documentary “The Last Dance”, which includes the famous Michael Jordan retirement press conference footage, which took place in our current gym!
Specifically, the majority of our classroom and academic space is on the second floor, with the exception of two downstairs classroom spaces and our gymnasium. Please see the featured photos for a preview of our new home.
Some of our upgrades include: additional comfortable seating for students to study, a terrarium and fish tank for students to help take care of, a newly finished basketball court, four spacious classrooms with two staff members accessible to assist students with academic success and general support, three clinician offices, a larger main office space for our administrative assistant and principal and a number of additional classroom-sized rooms for added space for activities.
In addition, we have a number of new staff members joining the Felicity team as we gain more and more new students! Joining us, we have our new school principal Dr. Chris Dignam, with over 20 years of administrative experience in the field of education. We also have a new middle school teacher joining us with over 20 years of experience in special education, Ms. Stephanie Horwitz. Last but not least, we have three new clinicians on staff, Ms. Patel, Ms. Greenawalt and Ms. Swillum. Our new clinicians come to Felicity with a variety of different backgrounds in the mental health field to provide new perspectives to support our Felicity students.
