The Iroquois High School auditorium was the setting for a moving ceremony on Aug. 15, when 36 former immigrants from across the globe became citizens of the United States. What made this ceremony so special is not just that it took place at a high school instead of a courthouse, but that it was produced entirely by the students in Iroquois' government and civics summer school class.
