to create excellence for all.
Advancing the educational mission of ETHS
Created in 2005, the ETHS Educational Foundation
enhances educational opportunities beyond the means
of conventional public funding. After studying other
educational foundations, the Foundation’s Board
decided to focus primarily on capital improvements.
Current funding priorities include:
•supporting District 202’s Capital Improvements
Plan, which includes renovations of athletic, arts and
academic facilities
•funding environmentally sound maintenance efforts
such as LEED-certified renovations
30,632
•securing resources for state-of-the-art labs for

You can help
Every alumnus, parent, and community member is
encouraged to make an annual gift and participate in
fundraising events. Every dollar makes a difference.
With a planned gift, you can have a lasting impact
in a way that benefits current students, you, and your
loved ones—all at the same time. Why not consider a
charitable gift annuity?
•You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
•You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.
•You can get monthly income for life in return for your gift.
Our campus-wide funding
assures access to excellence
for each and every student.
In partnership with ETHS leaders,
the Foundation delivers the
difference between what public
funds can provide and what
today’s students need to excel—
at every level.
Access to innovation
Two constants shape every generation of ETHS students:
a standard of excellence and the reality of change. The
Foundation empowers ETHS to maintain that excellence
and adapt to change—in technology, the sciences,
and pedagogical approaches, as the tools of one era
yield to the innovations of the next.
Every renovation, new machine, and curriculum upgrade
allows teachers and students to move ahead, unafraid
to lead, learn, and work.
STEAM Labs
We are breaking barriers, boundaries, and ground in
June 2014 to start building the new Science-TechnologyEngineering-Art-Math (STEAM) classrooms. In another
milestone for ETHS and the Foundation, students
will soon have opportunities to conduct cutting-edge
research, tackle experiments and construction projects
in teams, and engage with experts at Northwestern
University and elsewhere.
ETHS is one of the first schools in the U.S. to add
fine arts training into a STEM program, creating a
collaborative learning environment that mirrors many
21st century workplaces.
Distinguished Alum Leonard Schaeffer ’63 is fulfilling a
$500,000 challenge pledge to create the STEAM labs, now
that the Foundation has raised the $100,000 match. As
they master new instruments, students will need to draw
on a variety of disciplines to solve real-world problems.
Completed capital projects
In every corner of the ETHS campus,
our investments demonstrate
the Foundation’s distinct mission
and role. We are thankful for
the generosity of alumni, parents,
and friends.
Advanced Manufacturing Lab
Employers who offer well-paying jobs with
advancement potential look for candidates with
experience in welding, machining and engineering—
and the capacity to keep learning and adapting at
work. With Foundation support, students in the new
ETHS advanced manufacturing lab will master product
creation, assembly, quality control, and material
flow. They will also solve real workplace problems,
preparing them for manufacturing jobs that number
more than 406,000 in Illinois alone.
Students enrolled in the ETHS 2 Manufacturing
(CIM) course can earn industry-recognized
machining certification from the National Institute
of Metalworking Skills (NIMS). During the 2012–13
school year, ten students earned NIMS certification in
the area of Measurement, Materials, and Safety.
Additional courses in the Manufacturing /Industrial
Tech area include the following:
Other Project Lead the Way Pathway to
Engineering Courses: Introduction to Engineering
Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics,
and Civil Engineering and Architecture.
Geometry in Construction: A co-taught,
cross-departmental class that teaches geometry
concepts through the building of a house.
Automotive Technology: ETHS is a NATEF/ASE
certified Automotive Technology Training Program.
Courses offered include: Auto Maintenance,
1 Automotive Technology, and 2 Automotive Technology.
Although ETHS currently offers this nationally
recognized pre-engineering curriculum taught by
a knowledgeable teaching staff, the facilities are
antiquated. Students need access to additional
modern equipment. The Foundation’s 2013 –14
funding priority is to secure a total of $400,000 for
a complete renovation and equipment upgrades
of the Advanced Manufacturing Lab.
Our achievements.
Tangible.
Transition house: Adult students
with special needs continue life-skills
education in a home setting.
Renewable Energy & Ecology Lab:
Students build solar panels and
wind turbines, and study specimens
from the adjacent environmental
demonstration project grounds.
Athletic field: Synthetic turf and
lighting at Lazier Field improve the
safety and atmosphere for players
and spectators.
Student commons: Redesigned bike
compound and landscaped grounds
with seating for students help
everyone enjoy outdoor experiences.
Wireless campus: Access to
real-time online data inside and
outside ETHS buildings keeps the
community in touch 24/7.
Automotive lab: State-of-the-art
facilities offers the latest in electric
and hybrid engine technologies.
Main auditorium: New curtains and
riggings have enhanced spectacular
performances.
Taxpayer dollars alone
cannot match the needs
of an urban school serving
a diverse population.
“With this avenue to give back,
we can help a great
high school that we both love
keep moving forward.”
The gifts of one generation
At ETHS, she sang and he swam. They were busy with
other interests and passed in the hallways before
heading out into the world in 1958, she to Connecticut
College and he to Yale.
But ETHS had imprinted something special in them
both. Teacher Sadie Rafferty’s leadership of the chorus
and the Madrigal singers gave young Camilla Boitel
a love for music that lasted through the years.
Extend into the next
Dave Burgess shelved his swimming trophies and
became a banker, with a team commitment and
perseverance shaped by legendary coach “Dobbie”
Burton. As an enterprising class president,
Burgess secured a statue by Sylvia Shaw Judson
to be the class gift which still stands in the
North Courtyard.
With opportunities to give back
A college mixer in the fall of 1959 reconnected the
ETHS alums, who will celebrate their 50th wedding
anniversary in June. Their loyalty is rooted in gratitude.
The Burgesses and other alumni supported the
fundraising efforts that led to the dedication of the
William Dobson Burton Aquatic Center at ETHS in
March 2011, with a beaming Dobbie Burton on deck,
several months before his death at 92.
Our donors.
Grateful.
“Twenty-one members of our two families have attended
ETHS. With this avenue to give back, we can help a
great high school that we both love keep moving forward,”
says Dave.
