My name is Bonni Young, and I am proud to call Cook County my home, where I live with my husband and our two children. I am a graduate of Cook High School. 

In 2008, I began my journey in the education field as a paraprofessional at Cook Elementary School, where I gained valuable experience and insights into the needs of students. This role ignited my passion for teaching, and in 2012, I transitioned into a teaching position. 

I have earned a Master's Degree in Special Education, equipping me with the skills to support diverse learners. I have obtained a Specialist's Degree in Teacher Leadership.

In 2022, I embarked my role as Special Education Coordinator.
