Annual School Report

Dear District 62 Community,

It’s my pleasure to present our 2023 Community Consolidated School District 62 annual report.

We are a diverse, vibrant, learning community that continues to grow and evolve. District 62 serves more than 4,500 students who reside primarily in Des Plaines and portions of Rosemont. We maintain 12 schools, including our eight elementary schools, two middle schools, one year-round community school, and an early learning center.

I’m excited to be part of the strategic plan process that began in October 2023 with the support and involvement of students, staff, parents, and stakeholders.

It’s a critical process that concluded this spring with the Board of Education's adoption of the new strategic plan. A successful strategic plan serves as a guide to help us achieve the district’s mission, aligned with the statements of our vision and values. This plan creates shared goals for all district stakeholders and establishes a means of tracking our progress as we work to ensure an inclusive, accessible, high-quality education for all District 62 students.

I’m proud of our learning community as well as our business and community partnerships that do so much to support the students and staff of District 62.

I’m excited about our future and where the district is headed, and I am grateful to our Board of Education and our staff who dedicate their lives to our students.

I invite you to review this 2023 annual report. It includes a wealth of information about our district, including student achievement, our financial outlook, and the work we are doing to achieve the goals outlined in our strategic plan.

Thank you for continuing to support your Community Consolidated School District 62.

Sincerely,
