We are proud of the accomplishments of our students and staff, and our pupils continue to succeed in academics, athletics and extracurricular activities. At District 88, we have about 40 languages and more than 30 countries represented among our families, and almost half of the about 4,000 students at District 88 speak a language other than English at home. Our students come from various backgrounds, and embracing that diversity has led to success in the classroom and beyond.

The Niche recognitions are examples of how our Board of Education, staff, parents/guardians and community members are making a positive difference in the lives of our students. We continue to work together to build futures for the students of District 88 and to accomplish our mission of working for the continuous improvement of student achievement.

Thank you for your support of District 88.
