students of Staunton High School who helped the city of Staunton, 
Illinois earn a Governor's Hometown Award. Collaborating with the 
Staunton Chamber of Commerce, the class created and maintained a web 
site for the community.
  The Art II class led by teacher, Gayle Scheller, contributed an 
amazing amount of time and energy into creating this outstanding web 
site. Thanks to their efforts, Staunton has the use of a powerful 
technological tool. In addition, the city has benefited from statewide 
recognition through the award bestowed by the Governor.
