Amy Thorpe

Personal Statement:

I feel lucky to live in a school district that supports and cares for students as much as D44 does.  For the past several years I have volunteered both in and outside of the school.  I look forward to continuing to serve the community, now as a member of the school board.

Basic Beliefs Aligned with the D44 Mission Statement: 

I believe in the District's mission of serving the "whole child" and supporting them academically, socially, and emotionally.  I believe in open communication between students, families, staff and board members.  As a member of the board I will work to build connections with students, families and staff so that I can help make the best decisions for our district.

Education/Occupation/Family:

Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN, May 2006, B.A. Political Science

Maurer School of Law: Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, May 2009 J.D.

I am currently a Stay at Home Parent.  My husband, Mike, and I have lived in Lombard since 2013.  Our three children, Jackson (10), Robert (10) and Katie (8) attend Pleasant Lane Elementary.
