Announcement of Superintendent Vacancy

The Glenbard Township High School District 87 Board of Education announces the commencement of a search for a new Superintendent of Schools who will assume responsibilities on July 1, 2025. Dr. David Larson will retire from the district after 14 years of providing exemplary service to the students and families of the community. Glenbard District 87 is the fourth largest high school district in Illinois with an enrollment of 7,800 students. The district encompasses 45 square miles within DuPage County, a suburban area 30 miles west of Chicago. This is an outstanding professional opportunity for an excellent and experienced administrator to provide leadership to a diverse/multicultural school district serving the communities of Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, and Lombard along with parts of Bloomingdale, Hanover Park, Addison, Downers Grove, Wheaton, and unincorporated areas.

District 87's four comprehensive high schools serve students in grades 9-12. These schools are Glenbard West, Glenbard North, Glenbard South, and Glenbard East. Six Pre-K -8 elementary districts lie within the district's boundaries.

The Illinois School Report Card documents Glenbard's noteworthy record in the key areas of performance and accountability. The district's test scores and graduation rates continue to exceed state averages, while per student operating expense remains below the state average for large high school districts. Glenbard's academic offerings include standard and accelerated programs, as well as a comprehensive computer technology program and courses in the humanities, music, and art. Each Glenbard high school offers a wide range of extracurricular programs and student support services.

The schools are supported by a highly qualified and dedicated faculty and by a committed Board of Education. Additional information about the school district may be found at www.glenbard87.org.
