It has been confirmed by District 214 that Sharyn Marsh of Elk Grove High School will be taking Mr. O’Brien’s place as director of Vanguard next year. The district created a new position called Director of Alternative Programs. Ms. Marsh will oversee Young Adult Program. It is unclear if she is overseeing Forest View Alternative School as well.
“I think she’ll be a great director and I’m so excited to see her here,” says former Elk Grove student AJ Bays.
Ms. Marsh is currently Dean of Students and Division Head for PE, Health and Driver Ed at Elk Grove High School.
Our beloved sub Michael Koralik also was a substitute teacher and did some work at Elk Grove. There, he got the chance to work for Ms. Marsh. He said Ms. Marsh was great to work with. Also, he said his brother Jeff was Ms. Marsh’s PE student back in the day at Rolling Meadows. He also felt she was a great person and teacher.
Mr. O’Brien doesn’t know much about Ms. Marsh and has yet to meet her. “She’s highly regarded at Elk Grove and was picked out of a pool of strong candidates,” said Mr. O’Brien.
“I’ve met her two times, and she seemed nice,” said Mr. Markos.
“ My main goals for Vanguard are to learn about the current program and lead the staff in assuring the program meets the needs of our students in preparing them for their future,” said Ms. Marsh.
“I’m optimistic. Life will be different but good next year,” said Dr. Koralik.
We look forward to getting to know Ms. Marsh next year.

I didn't know Mr. O'Brien is leaving Vanguard. That is such a shame. His first year was my first year. He is one of main reasons I graduated. He's apart of that place. So sad.
