As a school district, academics are our top priority. Our curriculum is designed to provide variety and breadth through the study of content and process in the fundamental learning areas of reading, language arts, math, science, social studies, fine arts, physical development and health, computer literacy, and, in the upper grades, foreign languages. District 135 curriculum is aligned with the State Goals for Learning and Illinois Learning Standards and is assessed using Illinois Standard Assessment Tests (ISAT), as well as several local assessments.
The Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment is Paul Howell, PH.D. The Assistant Director is Laura Berry, Ed.D. Dr. Colleen Schultz serves as Assistant Superintendent of Special Education and Director of Student Services, with Assistant Director Patti Murtagh.
