How Far We Have Come!
L
ast year we renamed our school in memory of Rochelle Zell z�l and in honor of the extraordinary support of the Zell Family Foundation. In her lifetime, Mrs. Zell advocated for excellence in education and for sustaining Jewish values, consistent with our mission to create a culture of academic excellence that prepares students to live as responsible and involved Jewish citizens in the modern world.
Chicagoland Jewish High School, as we were previously known, opened its doors in 2001 with 26 students in Morton Grove. Today our school in Deerfield has grown into a vibrant institution of 168 students who come from a broad geographic area, including other states and overseas, and from across the Jewish spectrum.
