Superintendent's Message

Dr. Kathryn Varner

Dear South Holland School District 151 Families,

I am proud to share exciting news about our schools' recent designations from the Illinois State Board of Education. Taft, Eisenhower and Coolidge have earned the designation of Commendable, while Madison has been recognized as Approaching Exemplary.

These designations reflect the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our students, staff, administrators, families, and community partners. A Commendable designation signifies strong overall performance and positive outcomes for students, while Approaching Exemplary recognizes schools that are making substantial progress and demonstrating many of the characteristics associated with the state's highest-performing schools.

These accomplishments are worth celebrating, but they also remind us that continuous improvement is a journey. We remain focused on providing every student with high-quality instruction, strong support systems, and opportunities to excel academically, socially, and emotionally.

I want to thank our teachers, support staff, school leaders, families, and Board of Education for their partnership and unwavering commitment to student success. Together, we are creating learning environments where all students can achieve at high levels and reach their full potential.

We are proud of this recognition and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue our pursuit of excellence for every child.

Dr. Kathryn Varner

Superintendent
