Illinois Association of School Administrators
Dr. Christopher Sullens, superintendent of Kewanee Community United School District 229, has been named the 2021 Superintendent of Distinction by his colleagues in the Blackhawk Region of the Illinois Association of School Administrators.
Sullens was honored at an awards luncheon May 5 in Springfield. State Superintendent Dr. Carmen Ayala was the featured speaker, where 21 IASA regional Superintendents of Distinction were recognized.
“I have been fortunate to be able to work with board members who recognize the struggles that students in poverty incur, and they are willing to support students in all areas of academics, athletics and fine arts,” said Sullens, who has been an educator for 35 years and superintendent for 15 years.
