A massive congratulations to our students, teachers, staff, and administrators for earning Exemplary Status on the Illinois State Board of Education Report Card!

What does "Exemplary Status" actually mean?
It’s the state's highest rating, awarded to schools where students are strong across the board—from test scores and academic growth to high graduation rates and attendance. Thank you to our amazing educators, students, and families for making this possible!

While we celebrate these results, our focus remains on looking forward—using this feedback to keep growing and delivering the best for all of our students.

These ladies have had a busy day at Monmouth College where they were preparing tonight’s Monmouth College Honor Band performance. Congratulations, Mylee Fry and Hannah Miller-Blankenship.
