Greetings from the Superintendent


Dear Reader,

On behalf of the Medinah #11 Board of Education and administrative team, welcome to our Learning Community! If you take a moment and navigate through this web site, I believe you will see why we are so excited about being a part of Medinah School District #11.  Here are some highlights...

 

Over the years, Medinah #11 schools have received various national recognitions including the “Blue Ribbon School” award, INSPRA award for communication and the “Bright Red Apple” award.

 

In addition, the District has historically served as “home” to a number of National Board Certified teachers with several additional staff members currently working toward this certification.

 

The District and its various stakeholder groups have also made a very positive impact on the local community as evidenced by the strong partnerships between its schools and several local businesses, participation in myriad fund raisers to help both local and national causes, establishment of an adult-to-student mentoring program, and innumerable other “community-based” activities.


Finally, our students continue to learn at high levels as evidenced by their performance on local, state and national assessments.  We hope that you take as much pride in the schools as we do.  Please take a moment to explore this site and consider signing up for our bi-weekly eNews flashes by clicking the "Get Email Updates" link at the bottom of this page.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Joseph F. Bailey
