About Our District 

The Waukegan Community Unit School District #60 serves nearly 17,000 students in preschool through grade twelve. Our district is located on Lake Michigan just south of the Wisconsin border. The district has fifteen elementary schools, five middle schools, and a high school program divided between three buildings. We also operate preschool programs at three partnership sites.
