The flag redesign competition provided a catalyst for a hands-on learning experience for students about the history of Cook County and flag design generally. The Flag Advisory Panel engaged with teachers and administrators at each of the 550 high schools and entities serving high school-aged children throughout Cook County. In total, 297 submissions were received from students from 40 different high schools.
