As Principal of Morton West High School, I am very excited about the education that your child will get at Morton West High School.  Not only do we have the best teachers, coaches, and club sponsors, we have the best students a principal could ask for.  Our students and faculty provide and environment that is safe and academically rigorous.  I began my tenure at Morton West High School in 2009 and continue to be impressed  by our dedicated faculty and staff.  I have been married for nine years to my wonderful wife Katie and we have three sons Henry, Louie, and Mike.

Welcome to Morton West!  I am honored to be a member of the District 201 family since 2000.   I have served in several roles during my tenure in District 201,  including eight years as a Social Science teacher at Morton Alternative School.   In 2009, I transferred to Morton West High School to serve in the role of Dean of Students for two years before accepting the position of Assistant Principal of Operations. I truly enjoy the multiple facets of the work I do to ensure smooth and efficient school operations. The highlights of the Operations position include overseeing the day-to-day operations of several departments such as registration, enrollments, student records, health services, maintenance, and safety and security.                                                                              

Welcome to Morton West High School! As the Lead Dean of Students at Morton West, I work with the entire school community to promote positive relationships and behavior within the building. I have been with Morton West since November of 2016, and I am excited to continue to grow and advance with the Morton 201 school community. I have been in education since the fall of 2007, and have been working in educational leadership since 2013. My background and experience are in teaching physical education, health, and driver education. I currently have a BS in Physical Education from Eastern Illinois University, and a MA in Educational Leadership from Concordia University Chicago.

Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year Morton West! This will be my third year at Morton West as a Dean of Students. I started my educational career in January 2008 as a Special Education teacher. I have worked in the elementary, middle, and high school settings. In my eight years of teaching I worked with students ranging from five to twenty one years old with a variety of disabilities in both the public and therapeutic day school setting. In my eighth year of teaching, I worked closely with board certified behavior analysts on applied behavior analysis.
This year will be my first year as the Dean of Students for the Freshman Academy. In my position I work closely with students, staff, parents, administration and the community to create a safe and productive learning environment. My focus will be on achieving a high attendance rate and encouraging positive behavior. I will collaborate to ensure a positive transition for the class of 2022.

This year I will be entering my eighth year as an employee of J. Sterling Morton District 201. Before becoming a Dean at Morton West, I taught Culinary Arts in the Career Technical Education (CTE) department at Morton East. Additionally, I had the privilege of being the Head Varsity Poms Coach for seven years. I am beyond excited to be working as a Dean with the staff, students, parents, and community of Morton West. I look forward in following the districts vision and mission by helping students succeed and providing opportunities for our students that will empower them to be productive members of our global community.

My name is Enrique Ojeda and I am excited and honored to be working as a Dean of Students at Morton West High School. This will be my first year with District 201, but I have worked in the surrounding communities for the past 6 years. I had received my Bachelors degree in Education from Loyola University and my Master degree from Concordia University. My goal as an administrator at Morton West is to provide our students with the safest environment possible, allowing them to grow and flourish.

It is a pleasure to be a part of the Mustang Family at Morton West High School as the Program Coordinator for Special Education.  At Morton West High School, we provide an entire continuum of special education services to our students who require such services.  These students include those who need adaptive and functional skills instruction to those in our instructional, inclusion, and resource continuums.  My goals are to help students with special needs succeed in high school and to provide them with the appropriate supports that will help them achieve their individual post-secondary goals.  Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering for Pillars on its Pillars Ball Committee.
