In many ways, the 1989-90 school year at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy can best be described as a year of re-creation.

Within the context of strategic planning, we began to examine our values and beliefs, to clarify our mission and aspirations, and to develop bold, innovative strategies for achieving our institutional objectives.
