We are very excited to announce that we received notice from the Illinois State Board of Education that Cobden High School is approved to offer a College and Career Pathway Endorsement in Human and Public Services (Education). This means that the students below will meet specific requirements and earn a special seal on their diploma. With this recognition, students will qualify for certain education scholarships as well as the potential for other incentives in teacher education programs.
