Community Schooling
Directors of community schooling are responsible for fostering a learning environment beyond the classroom walls. Through collaboration with schools, families, and community organizations, they will cultivate partnerships that bring resources directly to students and their families. They will also organize clubs and out-of-school time programs. Community schooling aims to build upon and continue creating a school environment where students feel supported, connected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Reagan Johnson
Reagan Johnson has been selected to serve as one of two directors of community schooling in Vienna. Vienna is a pilot school for a federally funded program known as community schooling.
Johnson is a 2020 graduate and valedictorian of Vienna High School. While in high school, she earned two associate degrees from Shawnee Community College with honors. Johnson then graduated from Murray State University with two bachelor's degrees in social work and criminal justice. Recently, she earned her master’s degree in social work from the University of Kentucky (UK). Johnson served in the student services department as an intern last school year and as the lead for the Vienna REACH program.
Johnson stated, “I'm thrilled and extremely honored to be stepping into this role. As a proud product of Vienna schools and a lifelong resident of this community, I'm deeply invested in its success. I am eager to build upon our strengths and continue to foster a collaborative environment where students, families, and community partners work together. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to continue working alongside everyone!”
“Reagan is an inspirational figure for us. She is one of the first examples of the cradle-to-career pipelines established here. It is my privilege to be able to work alongside her to reach every child in Johnson County,” said Phillip Hosfeldt, dean of system programs.
“Vienna's participation in the community schooling opportunity in Illinois is a major win for our kids and families. Reagan Johnson heading up this new effort adds a layer that will undoubtedly ensure its success. While this is new territory for our school system, we have already been enjoying some benefits, such as establishing an after-school art program, after-school STEM club, and numerous other supplemental opportunities that will be available to students and families,” said Joshua Stafford, school superintendent.
