Annual School Report

on behalf of community consolidated school district 62, we welcome you to our annual report.

The 2023-2024 school year marked a pivotal moment for our district as we embarked on a thoughtful, collaborative journey to develop a new strategic plan with the support of our staff, parents, community members and students from our district as well as Maine Township High School District 207.This comprehensive blueprint for the future of our district was formally adopted by the Board of Education in April 2024.

As we embrace the school year, we are working hard to address the five goals of the strategic plan that are outlined in this annual report. Included in this annual report is a look at our mid-year progress that includes our work toward bringing full day kindergarten to our district, prioritizing workplace culture and enhancing security infrastructure.

District 62 serves more than 4,500 students who reside primarily in Des Plaines and portions of Rosemont. We maintain 12 schools, which include two middle schools, eight elementary schools, one year-round community school and one early learning center.

Our school district is an integral part of the community and I continue to extend my sincere gratitude to our business partners and organizations that do so much for the children of Community Consolidated School District 62. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the members of our Board of Education. These seven individuals dedicate countless hours to ensure that our students receive the best possible education.

Please take a moment to review our 2024 annual report that introduces our new strategic plan, highlights our student achievement as well as our financial outlook.

Thank you for your support of Community Consolidated School District 62.
