10 Questions with Scott Wakeley, new BBCHS superintendent

The name "Wakeley" is starting to be synonymous with the title "superintendent."

The Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School District 307 Board of Education hired Scott Wakeley, 45, of Bourbonnais, to fill the district's top post this summer. He is a 1987 graduate of Momence High School, where his father, Joe Wakeley, served as superintendent for 15 years after having served as a principal and superintendent in Grant Park Community School District 6.

But the younger Wakeley clearly has forged his own way.

He served as a principal in Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 for eight years and superintendent in Yorkville Community School District 115 for the past three years. His new job brings him back home — literally — as he is living with his parents until he is able to sell his house in Genoa.

Wakeley is raising three children with his wife, Gretchen, a Chebanse native, including Emily, a college freshman; Jacob, a sophomore at BBCHS; and Abigail, who will be be a freshman at BBCHS next year.
