Mr. Doug Rebeck
Principal/Teacher Minister
This marks my second year here at Zion as your principal. I have served the Northern Illinois District for 34 years as a teacher and principal. I am Vice-Chairman Elect for the Northern Illinois District Teachers' Conference. Here at Zion, I am an usher/server; help out with worship services; and this past summer, helped out with the V.B.S.
I was born a St. Patrick's baby in Cleveland, 1954, and was raised in Euclid, Ohio (suburb of Cleveland). I have an older brother, David, and a younger sister, Diane (I'm the "middle kid"). My college years were spent in Ann Arbor where I attended Concordia Junior College, and then Concordia Teachers' College in River Forest. I received my Master's Degree from Concordia College in 1985.
I am married to Robbyn who plays organ at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Dolton, and St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Thornton. We just celebrated our 32nd year of marriage. Robbyn and I live in Orland Park with our two year old Scottish Terrier, Pepper. I enjoy building and collecting model cars and like to listen to Country and music of the 60's.
