McHenry Middle School

McHenry District 15 Special Olympics 

Special Olympics programs welcome participants with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics provides quality training & competition, stresses athletic excellence, rewards determination, emphasizes health and celebrates achievements. We want athletes to do their best, and at the same time develop physical fitness, experience joy, develop skills and friendships. Currently, students enrolled in ALC & SAIL classes at McHenry Middle School participate in McHenry D15 Special Olympics. Kathleen Granahan, ALC MMS teacher, coaches the team.
