Dear Oak Lawn Families, 

On behalf of Oak Lawn Community High School District 229, welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We look forward to seeing the familiar faces of returning families and warmly welcome families new to District 229. Collaboration and communication among teachers, staff, students, families and community members will help shape a thriving educational community that nurtures the potential of every student.

At District 229, we take immense pride in the accomplishments of our students, staff, and community. From outstanding academic achievements and award-winning extracurricular programs to our robust college and career readiness initiatives, our District continues to set a high standard for excellence.

Our dedicated educators work tirelessly to create engaging, inclusive, and forward-thinking learning environments where students are empowered to reach their full potential. We’ve invested in cutting edge technology, expanded mental health and wellness support, and strengthened partnerships with local organizations to ensure our students are not only prepared for graduation, but for life beyond our halls.

Looking ahead, our vision remains clear: to prepare our students to lead with purpose and make a positive impact in the world. We are excited about what the future holds and remain committed to building a strong foundation that supports every learner in becoming a confident, capable and compassionate member of society.

Thank you for being a part of the Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 journey. Together we will continue to achieve great success!

Go Spartans!
