Future Ready Leaders

District 62 educates approximately 4,300 students PreK-8th grade in 11 schools. Including one early learning center, 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and one year round K-8 school. We proudly serve and support students and families from Des Plaines and Rosemont.

WHOLE SCHOOL

Our schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them to establish lifelong healthy behaviors.

When schools engage families in meaningful ways to improve student health and learning, families can support and reinforce healthy behaviors in multiple settings-at home, in school, in out-of-school programs, and in the community.
