Her two-year research project examines the school’s 70-year evolution, particularly the changing curriculums. Malamud, who shared her findings with the GBN community in a display case, is thankful for the rewarding academic experience.

Drew Duffy, GBS class of 2023, was the winner of a contest for high school students to redesign the Cook County flag. Finding inspiration in historical events, he incorporated designs to represent important elements of the county such as its many forest preserves. Duffy was excited to study vexillology and create a visual representation of Cook County.
