The Waukegan Public School District 60 serves nearly 17,000 students in preschool through grade twelve. Our district is located on Lake Michigan just south of the Wisconsin border. The district has fifteen elementary schools, five middle schools, and a high school program divided between three buildings. We also operate preschool programs at seven partnership sites. The student body of the district is rich in diversity with most of our students being Hispanic, African-American, or Caucasian. Waukegan Public School District 60 is rich in history and can trace its beginnings back to the 1860s. Our web site builds on our history and embodies our motto:"A New Day ...A New Way in Waukegan Public Schools ... over and above!"
