  • Social and emotional wellness is integral to the learning process.

  • Fine arts are fundamental to an exceptional educational experience.

  • Our facilities and technologies must enhance the educational process.

  • Students learn best when they are actively engaged and individually challenged to achieve their unique potentials.

  • Excellence in teaching promotes excellence in learning.

  • Fiscal discipline strengthens our schools and community.

  • Effective and transparent communication with all stakeholders is essential for the district’s success.

Anne Wirtz Retires This Year as Director of Student Services & Assessment

(April 25, 2013)  We wish a fond farewell to Dr. Anne Wirtz as she retires in June from her position as director of student services & assessment.

Dr. Wirtz has been with the District for seven years.  She has worked closely with district families and staff to provide educational plans for our students to reach their highest potential and makes every decision leading with students' needs and success as her number one priority.  Her depth of experience, her education and her connections within the fields of special needs and curriculum have made it possible for the Lake Bluff Schools to actively engage and individually challenge each student to meet his or her unique potential.
