District 36 Strategic Plan and Portrait of a Graduate

The Winnetka Public Schools community has shared a deep commitment to Progressive Education for over 100 years. Our School Board, administrators, and staff are honored to continue our history of excellence by cultivating rich experiential learning opportunities and fostering the academic and social and emotional skills that our students need to thrive now and into the future. To further advance this important work, the District embarked on an ambitious Strategic Planning process starting in March 2020 with the involvement of over two-thousand contributors representing students, staff, parents, community members, and alumni. One of the results of this process is the District’s Portrait of a Graduate:

We need your help to make Staff Appreciation Week a success. Please check out the different ways you can sign up and contribute!
