First Tee - Greater Chicago

SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT: Keller Regional Gifted Center

Located on Chicago’s Southwest Side, Keller Regional Gifted Center has been an important part of our First Tee – Greater Chicago story for years. Our partnership with Keller first began from 2017–2020 and helped shape so much of the school outreach programming we administer today.

What started as an in-school program grew into a four-week session at our Harborside Youth Learning Center, creating meaningful opportunities for students to take what they were learning in the classroom out onto the course.

We were excited to return to Keller and reconnect with the school, continuing to build on the strong foundation that was created through our original partnership.

A special thank you to Principal Charles A. Dunbar, Assistant Principal Peter Davis, PE Teacher Mr. Kevin Reed, and volunteer assistant Angela Feliciano de Diaz for being such strong champions of bringing First Tee programming to their students!
