Dear Parents and Students,

    Welcome to the Summer Reading  Program of Schaumburg High School!  The SHS faculty and staff invite you to share some great moments this summer on a vacation of the mind.   We offer you the opportunity to explore new lands, meet new people, and experience new adventures in some of the hottest contemporary literature.

     This is a rare opportunity!  Choose your own book and read it at your own pace.  Read it for fun.  Read it for sharing.  Read it for the challenge.

      We have gathered titles which appeal to many.  Choose one, two, three…and indulge yourself in an exciting intellectual journey!

Marking the Text
