Our mission is to provide a high-quality public education for every child, in every neighborhood, that prepares each for success in college, career, and life.
When it comes to principals, of course #TheBestAreWithCPS! This Principal Appreciation Month, we’re shining a spotlight on YOU, our district’s incredible school leaders, who inspire, support, and champion our students and school communities each and every day.

Principal Marion is spirited, creative, and resilient! The Clissold ES community is lucky to have her. She is one of the 34 amazing principals in Network 10. #BeWhoYouAre@ChiPubSchools
The admin team of Principal Avila, AP Bacoulis, & AP Pearse is creating a sense of togetherness and family to ensure all students feel they belong at Peirce ES. The school is proud of the many spaces and structures that empower student voice. This year, the ILT's instructional focus is on student discourse in the classroom. As we walked classes, we saw the instructional efforts and tasks engaging students in academic dialogue with one another. Go Panthers! #TheBestLeadwithCPS @CPSNetwork2@ChiPubSchools

Happy Apple Crunch Day! 🍎✨
Today, students across our district are taking a bite into fresh, Michigan-grown apples to celebrate local food and healthy eating!
Over $1 out of every $3 (35.5%) in our food budget goes directly to supporting local farmers and regional food suppliers. That means the nutritious meals served in our cafeterias every day aren't just good for our students —they're good for our community, too. 🚜🌾
Best of all? School meals are 100% FREE for all students every day. Learn more about CPS's Farm to School Program at https://t.co/AcnfTTPvwn
