Good News Sunday: Long brain injury recovery leads Barrington High alum to 'Baking Show' tent

This is Good News Sunday, a compilation of some of the more upbeat and inspiring stories published recently by the Daily Herald. Today's column focuses on the accomplishments of some current and former suburban high school students:

Viewers across the country can see Chauhan's baking skills in action as a contestant on the new season of"The Great American Baking Show," which was set to premiere Friday on the Roku Channel."I'd be doing something and I'd remember practicing it in rehab, and it made me so grateful to everyone who'd helped me," said Chauhan, who graduated from Barrington High School in 2012.

But that didn't stop him from performing in Bartlett High School's production of"The Sound of Music." As the only deaf cast member in the musical, the freshman, who also has limited vision, hopes his small role makes a big impact. "It's very important that our students are exposed to all of this because it's important for them to see role models," said teacher Veronica Hutchins. Aditya Gupta, 17, of Rolling Meadows, a junior at William Fremd High School in Palatine, is among only five high school students in the nation to receive the 2023 Scholar-Chessplayer Award from the U.S. Chess Federation.
