Ela-Vernon East was the first name of today’s Adlai E. Stevenson High School. Ela-Vernon East was the second school in the Ela-Vernon Township High School District with district offices in Lake Zurich. Because of the growing disagreement between Ela-Vernon West and Ela-Vernon East, current Stevenson, about the direction the school should take, Adlai E. Stevenson High School was born in November 1965. The school was to open as a school for freshman and sophomores living in the area. Juniors and seniors were to continue to attend Ela-Vernon West in Lake Zurich (http://www.d125.org).

The school curriculum places a great emphasis on a core of fundamental courses in English, mathematics, science, and social studies. Since these are the areas tested by national examinations such as the ACT and the SAT, students should be better prepared to achieve high scores on theses exams (http://www.d125.org). The d125 website lists around 30 AP classes that are offered for Stevenson students. In addition to regular classes, students can be involved in over 125 co-curricular clubs and activities that are offered by Stevenson. Stevenson uses traditional grading system that fuses feedback, achievement results, and performance expectations into a single percentage. However, Stevenson works hard to have an Evidence-Based Reporting model for all classes in near future. The purpose of Evidence-Based Reporting is to ensure that a student’s grade is reflective of his or her learning based on course’s learning expectations
STEVENSON was only interested in attending the Governors’ conference because he did not like the idea of the reestablishment of the BROYLES COMMISSION. It was said that his first task that he wanted to complete was to speak to Hoover in order to convince him to meet with two members from the American Legion, which would include Illinois State Commander Lawrence J. Fenlon. Hoover was able to understand where STEVENSON was coming from he went so far to inform STEVENSON to “beware of amateur Red-hunters, citing several examples of bumbling counter-subversives who had interfered with the Bureau’s sophisticated internal security operations” (53). Many people were lobbying for the BROYLES COMMISSION to be reintroduced, but something more important came up, which was the issue of the investigation into state educational institutions. During the meeting in February of 1951 STEVENSON and many other state governors that

During law school, he got an internship with the Southern Prisoners Defense Committee (Stevenson 5-7), which was inspirational and made law school seem much more relevant and interesting. After he graduated, he “went back to the Deep South to represent the poor, the incarcerated, and the condemned” (Stevenson 17). He was committed to providing social justice for everyone despite the corruption. Throughout his career, he worked with many different types of minorities, all of whom were misjudged and treated harshly by society and the criminal justice system. He represented children, who had grown up in terrible circumstances, and then were prosecuted as adults. He represented women who couldn’t afford access to healthcare, and then got charged with murder when they miscarried their baby. He also worked with mentally ill people who never got the help that they needed (Stevenson 17). Stevenson realized that mass incarceration is not the right answer. Almost everyone has to capacity to be a functioning member of society if they are given the chance. Locking people up has become the answer for almost any problem a person may have. As a society, we would rather imprison someone than get them the help that they need. Stevenson fought for social justice for these people. He did this work out of compassion, duty, and most importantly,

To begin, Robert Louis Stevenson was born into a middle class family in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1850.

During the 1800s, a typical means to cure illness was travel, the Stevenson family attempted to cure roberts sickness by traveling Europe (“Timeline”).
