Mundelein High School - Long Range Plan

MUNDELEIN HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 120
LONG RANGE PLAN

Mundelein High School:
The Door to Every Student’s Future

The Mundelein High School Board of Education determined that the school district needed to provide comprehensive direction for the future. In fall 2006, about eighty participants came together to plan for the future of Mundelein High School. The planning overview is structured to provide answers to questions that help us determine the course of the future.

Participants divided into smaller groups, and discussed and created a vision for Mundelein High School in three areas: (1) School Culture, (2) Learner Outcomes, and (3) Instructional Program. This vision guides us as we make decisions about students' performance, achievement and success.

Committees were formed that further define the desired future in seven areas. Each committee is co-chaired by a community member and a Mundelein High School staff member. The goals and their implementation plan can be viewed in each of the seven committees listed below:

•	Academics
	Charge: To increase student achievement in all curricular areas.

•	At Risk Students
	Charge: To support students who are struggling in school because they are disenfranchised, second language learners or not successful for other reasons.

•	Co-curricular Activities
	Charge: To provide a co-curricular program that builds skills and fosters relationships.

•	Communications/Public Information
	Charge: To communicate effectively and openly with our parents and community about the needs, accomplishments and challenges of our school district. To reach out to our community and involve them in our school.

•	Finance and Facilities
	Charge: To assure that our physical plant and financial resources are best utilized for the benefit of our students.

•	School Culture
	Charge: To establish a positive environment within the school that encourages all students and staff to do their best.

•	Technology
	Charge: To integrate technology with our instructional programs and school management systems.

Each committee has provided recommendations in the form of short and long term goals to the District Long Range Plan Committee, chaired by John Ahlgrim and Olivia Maple. The goals include those that can be implemented immediately, and those that require additional resources before they can be implemented. Selected goals will be approved by the Board of Education, and other goals will be approved by the district administration. These goals form the Long Range Plan for our school. The implementation plan and eventual evaluation of each goal will be available under the various committee headings.

Please follow the progress of our Long Range Plan as we move forward towards our desired future at Mundelein High School!
