Greetings, Lake Villa Community Consolidated School District 41 Stakeholders!
My name is Dr. Sandra Keim-Bounds. As a member of the District 41 school community for the past twenty-five years, I am honored to be able to serve as District 41’s incoming superintendent.
Since 1998, I have been a part of the school community and have served as District 41’s Deputy Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning, Principal at William L. Thompson School, Assistant Principal at William L. Thompson School, General Education Teacher at William L. Thompson School, and Special Education Teacher at B. J. Hooper School. Additionally, I was selected as the Illinois Principal Association 'Principal of the Year' for Lake County and received the District's Above and Beyond Award for Exemplary Performance and Service during my tenure.
Educationally, I received a Doctorate from National Louis University. My doctoral dissertation focused on data-driven decision-making's impact on student achievement and staff collegiality. I hold a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Northeastern Illinois University. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Purdue University with a dual General and Special Education certificate.
I am truly vested in Lake Villa Community Consolidated District 41. My passion is to provide your child with a memorable school experience while ensuring they are educationally prepared for their futures.
I appreciate your ongoing support. District 41 has been planning behind the scenes, and we are eager to ELEVATE District 41 in 2023 and beyond!
