One Campus, Connected Community

Students in Wilmette Public School District 39 in Wilmette, Illinois attend Highcrest Middle School for grades 5 and 6 and Wilmette Junior High School for grades 7 and 8. Academic excellence, as well as the social and emotional development of students, drives the programs and inspires the staff. In 1979 the district acquired their first Apple IIs and began adventures in integrating technology. Years later, students in grades 5–8 use iPad as an essential tool woven naturally throughout their day. Immediate access to a multifunctional device paired with carefully curated applications combined with robust access to the Internet makes for the perfect conditions to support teaching and learning.
