Company Overview

The Waukegan Unified District #60 serves approximately 16,300 students in kindergarten through grade twelve. In addition we serve pre-school and alternative schools at the high school level. Our district is located on Lake Michigan just south of the Wisconsin border. There are 23 individual school programs in the district, including a pre-school, 14 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, a ninth grade campus, a 10-12th grade senior high school and 2 alternative type high school programs. The student body of the district is rich in diversity with most of our students being Hispanic, African-American, or Caucasian.

Our main goal is helping each of our students succeed in school and ultimately with their lives. There are gifted and talented programs for those children that qualify. On the other hand there are bilingual and special education programs for those with special needs. There are after school and summer programs designed to help students meet some of the challenging learning situations and participate in interesting and fun extensions to classroom learning. Our high school activities programs are numerous and include sports, clubs, and wide ranging activities. Because we are one of the largest school districts in the State of Illinois it is possible to provide a very comprehensive activities program.

The district is one of the largest employers in the area with about 2,000 employees in a wide variety of jobs as teachers, administrators, para-professional, custodial and maintenance workers, bus drivers, food service workers, and others in various positions. The district is fortunate to have a diverse, caring, talented, and effective work force. We are always seeking people interested in becoming part of the Waukegan School family.
