St. Charles North High Teacher-Coach Honored

'Woman of Distinction' honors for instructor, drill team coach.

The October edition of the Kane County Magazine identifies seven Women of Distinction and St. Charles North physical education teacher and drill team coach Nancy Prentiss is among those honored.

Prentiss is one of the many driving forces behind the annual Kick-a-Thon conducted by the drill teams from St. Charles East and St. Charles North high schools that has raised more than $600,000 to support the American Cancer Society and Living Well Cancer Resource Center over the last two decades.

The fight against cancer is a personal one for Prentiss: She is a cancer survivor. Under her direction, the St. Charles North Drill Team program has won 11 state titles in a row.
