Background

About John Robinzine

I am the Assistant Superintendent of Career Development for Thornton Fractional District 215. Before being appointed to this role, I spent three years as T.F. Center’s Principal and Director of Career and Technical Education. During my tenure in this previous dual role, I was instrumental in growing existing programs and developing new C.T.E. programming for all District 215 students. I also currently serve as the Title IX Nondiscrimination Coordinator and as one of the district's complaint managers. With over 20 years of experience in education and with District 215, I spent seven years teaching a variety of social studies courses and also dedicated four years as the assistant and head track and field coach before pursuing an educational leadership role. I also served as the Assistant Principal for Building Control and Credit Recovery Program Coordinator at T.F. South. I have held several other leadership roles at T.F. South, including co-chairing curriculum committees, the Early Intervention Program (EIP), and T.A.C.T (Tolerance, Acceptance, Community, and Togetherness), a committee of staff and student volunteers that organizes efforts to build and maintain a positive school climate and equity. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Science Education from Illinois State University and earned a Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership from Governors State University. I completed my Superintendent Endorsement program and am currently working to complete my dissertation to earn a Doctor of Education degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University Chicago.
