Principal Shines

Greetings IHS Families, Scholars, and Community Members,

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I announce that I am the new Principal of Innovations High School. I found a home here at IHS five years ago, and I am committed to making sure our scholars receive the best education possible.

I came to Innovations with over fifteen years of experience as a teacher, Dean of Instruction, and Assistant Principal at various schools in the city. I am a Golden Apple Scholar of Illinois and have been teaching since I graduated from high school. As you can see I have dedicated my life to education, and my passion is fueled by knowing ALL are scholars in their own right. I believe firmly in the potential of all scholars to succeed and transform any obstacles into stepping stones, through perseverance, dedication and embracing the tenacity of the Phoenix, which is our school mascot.

My goals for this school year are to increase attendance and engagement, increase exposure and extended learning opportunities for all scholars, and to make school FUN! Our staff is committed to making sure each scholar’s learning experience is individualized and that all academic and social-emotional needs are met.

We are ecstatic about graduating more scholars and preparing them for post-secondary success.

Feel free to email me at ashines@innochi.org or call the school at 312-999-9360 if you have any questions or concerns.

With Love,

Mrs. Alicia Boughton-Shines
Principal
