THE 2026 FISHER HIGH SCHOOL DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE
LINDA HERRIOTT IRLE, CLASS OF 1977
Linda Herriott Irle is a 1977 graduate of Fisher High School. She earned her associate degree in nursing from Parkland College in 1980 and worked as a registered nurse (RN) at Burnham Hospital in orthopedics. After the birth of her children, she returned to the University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and received her Bachelor Science of Nursing (BSN) with honors in 1992. She then pursued her MSN from Illinois State University and became a family nurse practitioner in 2000. She taught at both the undergraduate and graduate level at the College of Nursing at the University of Illinois -Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) from 2000-2012. She received many awards during that time including the Silver Circle Award, the Golden Apple Award of Excellence in Teaching. She taught Kaplan review courses for nurses for 12 years. She joined Carle in 1989 as a staff as a registered nurse (RN) and has been a family nurse practitioner (FNP) at Carle Health since 2000. She received the first Advanced Practice Provider (APP) of the year award in 2015 based on nominations and voting from the medical staff. She was also the first APP Director at Carle joining many organizational committees that had never included an APP. She helped promote top of scope practice along with representing over 500 APPs at the table. Her love of nursing has always been rewarded by the satisfaction of helping others. Although her professional life has been full her greatest reward has always been her family. She retired from active practice in 2024 and enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Linda will be honored on Friday September 11th at a student presentation at Fisher Jr/Sr High School beginning at 8:15am. The public is invited to attend. Please enter through the door nearest the office. She will also be recognized at halftime of the Homecoming Football Game that evening. Congratulations Linda and Thank You for your service in the healthcare community!
