Elevating Education in Elmhurst

Our annual Thiems grant program supports creative ideas from educators, community members, and even students, to implement unique learning tools, techniques and experiences across the district. Additionally, we make large scale investments in district-wide projects and support efforts to ensure equity and inclusion for all students.
