As the summer break quickly draws to a close, staff are welcomed back to the 2015-2016 school year. This is the school district’s 113th year!

“I hope you share my excitement at the onset of the upcoming school year, which is filled with limitless opportunities to better serve our students and partner with families in an effort to provide the best possible education for our entire Oak Lawn and Hometown community.”

Superintendent, Dr. Paul Enderle, encouraged staff to embrace the School District 123 vision statement by striving to become a Leader in Education, Helping Students Achieve their Dreams. “The power of CONNECTION is why we are here; great organizations find ways to CONNECT, learn more, and strive for excellence. Channeling the power of CONNECTION defines our growth, effectively aligning that power results in our success.”
