Innovative Academics

Help us unlock the potential of our students by supporting innovative academic programs, including our robotics team, the Bright Ideas Teacher Fund, and various other initiatives. While we strive to provide a top-tier education, specialized projects and tools require funding beyond our regular budget. Donations to these programs directly enable Alleman to pilot new initiatives and offer students interactive learning experiences that foster critical thinking and collaborative skills. By contributing, you are investing in the future, helping us bring complex concepts to life through technology and specialized instruction. If you have questions, contact  Alison Beardlsey, Director of Advancement at abeardsley@allemanhighschool.org or (309) 786-7793 ext. 407.

FIRST ROBOTICS TEAM

The Alleman Pioneer FIRST robotics team (Team 25656) serves as a powerful engine for academic growth by transforming theoretical classroom knowledge into hands-on engineering experience. Through the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), students master advanced skills in coding, mechanical design, and the iterative engineering process while building industrial-grade robots like “Cyclops”. This technical immersion significantly strengthens their proficiency in STEM subjects, contributing to the school’s high academic standards.

BRIGHT IDEAS TEACHER FUND

The Darrell and Mary Anne Reynolds Family Foundation Bright Idea’s Award provides teachers the tools and resources our educators need most for their classrooms from updated supplies and technology to enriching learning materials.  This fund supports teachers at Jordan Catholic School, Seton Catholic School and Alleman Catholic High School.
