At Stagg, Augustyniak "played a critical role as Stagg High School was selected by the National Council for Behavioral Health and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation as one of the first eight schools in the nation to participate in the Teen Mental Health First Aid Program," a District 230 news release states.

"Her ability to lead change, tremendous work ethic, and relentless focus on facilitating student experiences that result in academic and social emotional growth will benefit the entire Sandburg community as she transitions into the Director of Guidance role," Tyrrell said.
