Purpose and Mission
Beginning in the fall of 2006, a group
of dedicated community volunteers launched the District 113 Foundation.
Following collaborative conversations with staff, parents and other
community members, the District 113 Foundation pledged:
To support, enhance and enrich the education programs at Deerfield and Highland Park High Schools by
promoting innovative educational opportunities and increasing community
involvement in order to foster pride and ownership.”
