Challenge: The district feeds directly into Stevenson High School, one of the most progressive high schools in Illinois, but its middle school classrooms were not yet equipped to reflect 21st century learning.

Solution: A four-year, phased district-wide renovation program modernizing classrooms and technology at both Twin Groves and Woodlawn middle schools, completing one phase per summer.

Movable furniture and fully flexible layouts support individual, small group, and project-based learning; technology infrastructure allows access from anywhere in the room, not just a fixed front

Next Generation Science classrooms renovated to support hands-on lab work, flexible grouping, and integrated technology
