LHS District 210 Repeats As 'Top Workplace' Honoree

LEMONT, IL — For the second time in as many years, Lemont High School District 210 has been cited among the recipients for the Chicago Tribune Top Workplaces Award. The school said the winners for 2018 were announced at an event at Soldier Field in Chicago on Nov. 1. Lemont High School was the only high school among this year’s honorees.

2,600 organizations were invited to participate in this year’s Top Workplaces program, and only 150 earned Top Workplace accolades. According to the district, Lemont High School was listed 34th among the 65 honorees in the “Small” category, which included organizations with fewer than 250 employees.

In addition to being the only high school among the 2018 Top Workplaces, Lemont High School District 210 was one of only three school districts recognized at this year’s event, joining Libertyville School District 70 and Benjamin School District 25 in West Chicago, the school said.

The Chicago Tribune Top Workplaces Award is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC. The school said the anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution and connection, among others. The award is based solely on the feedback offered through a third-party employee survey, so the judges are the employees.
