Community Leaders in Action Award

The District 135 Community of Learners in Action Award is our school district’s highest honor, established to celebrate the extraordinary individuals and organizations who exemplify our core mission, vision, and values every single day.

This award recognizes the unsung heroes—our parents, staff, students, and community partners—whose actions cultivate a supportive, exceptional learning environment. We believe that our success is built on the collective efforts of those who go above and beyond to show commitment, kindness, innovation, and resilience.
