At District 88, our mission is to work for the continuous improvement of student achievement.

We focus on that mission every day to ensure our students succeed inside the classroom and beyond. And we know those accomplishments are possible because of a knowledgeable Board of Education, dedicated and passionate staff members, engaged students and involved parents/guardians and community members.
