Teachers and students were all smiles as we started the 2024-25 school year on Wednesday! Did your student tell you where Mr. Creech was during the morning announcements? Check out some of the teacher predictions on our Instagram @D123KolmarAve.

The D123 Early Learning Center welcomed 250 families into the building for a series of orientation events. These excited Lions explored their new classrooms, met new friends, and checked out the new playground. We can't wait to see everyone again for the first day of preschool on Monday, August 26!

Mustangs had a great first day of school! Students met their teachers, learned their schedules, and had a blast at the all-school assembly. We can't wait for next week for the excitement to continue!

Join us as we embark on an exciting journey to redefine excellence in education with 'Ascend 123: Strategic Planning.' School District 123, in partnership with our entire learning community, will shape the future of our schools and create an environment where every student can thrive. Join us in this transformative process and make a lasting impact!

In 1924, District 123 held some classes in the former Methodist Episcopal Church, located at 9536 South Minnick Avenue, due to overcrowding. The above picture is Miss Pohlman's first grade class from Cook Avenue School.

Thank you to all who submitted your stories to D123 4-WARD. It was a pleasure to read all the submissions. We are so proud of our alumni and the variety of paths they have taken to success. From becoming a doctor to following their entrepreneurial spirit, these graduates all exemplify what it means to be D123.

We want to hear about our alumni's successes in high school, college, and beyond! As our students graduate from D123 and move 4-Ward, we want to stay connected and hear about all the journeys taken in "tomorrow's world." Tell us stories from the classroom, the athletic field, the stage, the culinary lab, extracurricular activities, volunteer experiences, and everywhere in between. We are interested in everything our alumni have been up to since they graduated 8th grade. Fill out this form for possible inclusion in our alumni spotlight electronic newsletter, D123 4-WARD.
