High school students – the County’s next generation – were asked to submit thoughtful flag designs representative of Cook County’s iconic history, varied geography, important institutions, and diverse residents. Submissions were received from 297 students from 40 different high schools and living in every district of Cook County. The Flag Advisory Panel examined these flags for composition, such as colors and design elements, and representation of the County’s mission, history, people, and geography. The Flag Advisory Panel also reviewed the student’s description and title of each flag. All designs were reviewed without regard for the mode or detail in design – that is, whether it was created in crayon or on a computer. Explore all of the creative designs and click through for their descriptions below!
