![]() By Carolina Aceves Staff Writer This year, Hubbard High School has changed in a number of ways, from new faculty and staff to starting off the year with a different schedule. One of the most significant changes, however, would be having a new principal. Dr. Bessie Karvelas came to Hubbard as an acting principal, meaning she will be here until the Local School Council appoints someone to the new seat. A Chicago native, Dr. Karvelas attended a number of schools such as the University of Illinois for her Bachelor’s degree in English, Lewis University for her Master’s degree, and Nova Southeastern University for her Doctorate degree in School Leadership. She was principal at Lincoln Park High School for six years, where the first International Baccalaureate (IB) program in Chicago started. During her stay here, she wants to support the IB program, as well as the AVID program, and General Education as much as she can. When asked how she likes Hubbard, she commented, “Oh, it’s wonderful! I have met wonderful, wonderful students, and I have to say that you have fabulous teachers.” When the LSC chooses the new principal for Hubbard, she hopes to be a superintendent. When asked if she had any words of wisdom for Hubbard students, she said, “I would like to share with you the fact that is it very, very important to think about your future and to listen to every word that comes out of your teachers’ mouths, because those teachers are going to prepare you for tomorrow’s future.”
