Leyden East and Leyden West high schools were each named Illinois Democracy Schools. As part of the Democracy Schools Network and the Illinois Civics Hub, the Illinois Civics Mission Coalition bestowed the award.
“Civics education is about making good citizens, recognition and acknowledgement that no matter what we learn in schools, everyone has to become a citizen."
