Michael received his doctoral degree in 1990 and spent the next 15 years researching and publishing his results. We at ICHS honor him as an exceptional student and one who would pursue his passion and set a wonderful example for future alumni. Sadly, Mr. Hogan passed away in 2005.
2006 - Julianne Arient, class of 1990 - As as student at IC, Julianne was busy playing softball and making the grades. Unknowingly, she was setting an example for all those around her. This trend continued as she went through Triton College and Elmhurst College where she won several athletic and academic honors. Receiving a Master's Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Chicago, Julianne continued to set examples for her peers.
