District 86 adds new sport at Hinsdale South, reverses decision to merge Central and South boys gymnastics

Girls flag football is coming to Hinsdale South for the upcoming fall season, after a unanimous decision by the Hinsdale District 86 School Board on June 27.

Physical Education Department Chair Janelle Marconi was appointed head coach of the new team, alongside physical education teacher Mary Rounce as assistant coach. The Board also decided to maintain separate squads for the boys gymnastics program at Hinsdale South and Central for the upcoming Spring season, reversing a decision made earlier this year.

However, parents and community members pushed back against the decision, gathering at a school board meeting in May to voice their support for individual boys gymnastic squads.
