nter with Promise. Leave with Purpose.
Community High School District 155 serves over 5,600 students at four comprehensive high schools and one alternative education campus. All four D155 high schools ranked in the top 10 percent nationally by U.S. News & World Report, which identifies the superior education our students receive. District 155 prides itself on producing well-rounded students offering 200 academic courses and more than 150 extracurricular activities. To better prepare our students, District 155 is initiating a career experiences program focused on providing students with real-life career opportunities. Through the district’s partnership with McHenry County College, D155 has 1,917 dual credit seats taken during the 2020-21 school year which
represents a cost savings of just over $2 million for our families. Equipped with a strong foundation, nearly 87 percent of district students continue their education after graduation. The district’s strategic plan focuses on five goals: student success, student wellbeing, workforce excellence, collaborative partnerships, and resource stewardship. District 155 remains committed to fiscal responsibility and has been awarded with the highest financial designation for financial management from the Illinois State Board of Education for the past 18 years. The district will continue to focus on providing resources to best educate our students while being mindful of our taxpayers. Cary-Grove High School Dr. Neil Lesinski, Principal

“Made in Your Own Backyard” Program D155 Students & Parents Explore Manufacturing Careers The district continues to partner with local businesses to raise awareness about career opportunities available in McHenry County through the district’s “Made in Your Own Backyard” Event. Over the last few years, the district has collaborated with seven manufacturing companies to offer two-45 minute tours to students and their parents. Most recently the district partnered with four local companies, Fabrik, General Kinematics, Proampac, and Swiss Automation. Parents and students were invited to explore manufacturing careers and inform students about training, education and growth opportunities. More than 250 students and parents have registered for this event since 2018. “It helps me see what my options are and what I want my options to be in the future,” says John Gardner, a Crystal Lake South student. We believe events like this one align with our mission… for our students to ENTER WITH PROMISE. AND LEAVE WITH PURPOSE.
