PARK FOREST, Ill. – A Chicagoland school district thinks so much of the Obamas, it has renamed two schools after them.

The Southtown Star reports Park Forest-Chicago Heights School District 163 has renamed the former Beacon Hill school the Barack Obama School of Leadership and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, according to a district news release.

Forest Trail school is now the Michelle Obama School of Technology and the Arts.

Both schools have fourth through eighth graders in attendance, according to the Quincy Journal.

“The Obama name was selected for the two schools because the values that the First Family models are unparalleled precedents and are values that our students strive to emulate. I believe we are the first schools in the nation to honor the First Family in this manner,” says district superintendent Joyce Carmine, according to the Star.

Carmine didn’t elaborate on precisely which “values” students strive to emulate.

“School District 163 has a strong legacy of promoting innovation and the reconfiguration and creation of the two Obama schools will continue this legacy,” Carmine said, reports CSN Chicago.

Both schools will offer what the paper describes as the “Core Curriculum” – presumably a reference to Common Core.

The Michelle Obama school will put a special emphasis on “theater, show choir and visual arts.” Perhaps those themes would be more fitting for the Barack Obama school.

Students residing within the district can apply to whichever school reflects their interests, and those not accepted into their chosen school may re-apply in two years, the superintendent says.

District 163 isn’t the first to name a school after Barack Obama.

NBC Chicago reported earlier this year, Chicago Public Schools announced it would name a new “selective enrollment” high school after President Obama.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said the new school, slated to open in the 2017-2018 school year, would be named, “Barack Obama College Preparatory High School.”

That school will ultimately enroll 1,200 students.
