At Hinsdale Central, our students are supported through an amazing Social Work department. Jen Cave was awarded Volunteer of the Year through the Community House. Jen supports the Community House’s Walk for Mental Health, which garners the participation of many Central students and parents. She is also the PTO’s Insight Collaboration coordinator with the Community House. Through generous donations, the Insight Collaboration provides mental health counseling for Central students who would otherwise be unable to afford this service.

Congratulations to Ms. Cave! Thank you for all you do for the community and Hinsdale Central!

HCPTO Exec Board Member & Treasurer, Sujit Menon, was featured in The Hinsdalean. Sujit has made a lasting and positive impact over the years on Hinsdale Central students, parents, and staff. He is an amazing example of how a dad can balance work, kids, and volunteer work!
