Sometimes the origin story can seem stilted. Too often trotted out. Too much rehearsed. But when Krish Mohip told our Amaris Rodriguez how he came to be an educator, we found it moving and sincere. More importantly, we saw his story of personal trauma as he entered high school — his sister’s sudden death — to be immediately relevant to students in Proviso Township’s three high schools. Mohip, now District 209’s superintendent, explained that he…Read Article
