Thank you to the District 112 Community!

Thanks to the vision and commitment of our community, School District 112 will be working hard in the 36 months to construct a new high school, opening in the fall of 2009. We would like to thank all who supported this effort. We will continue to call on you to become involved as we move forward with plans to build the school and examine ways in which we can move our secondary program from great to world class.

Thanks for making it all possible.
