Our principals devote countless hours, including early mornings, nights and weekends, to ensuring that each of their school’s students have every opportunity for success. They live and breathe CCSD93's mission of maximizing the academic, social, and emotional potential of each student in their buildings. I have the pleasure of observing their deep personal commitments to their schools every day, and their leadership is integral to CCSD93’s effectiveness as a school district.

I am truly grateful for everything our principals do for CCSD93's students, staff members, parents and community at large. The next time you see your child's principal, please join me in thanking them!
Student-Led Conference Recap
Thank you to all families who were able to attend Student-Led Conferences the past two days.
