Welcome Dear Parents, Community Members, and Visitors: On behalf of the Board of Education of DePue Unit School
District #103, I would like to welcome you to our wonderful District. The
District serves approximately 500 students from Pre-Kindergarten through
Twelfth Grade on one campus. The District serves the geographic region of the
Village of DePue, which is located in-between Spring Valley and Princeton. The District is proud of our diverse student population and
how hard our students and staff work. For more information on the composition
and academic performance of our District, I encourage you to visit the Illinois
School Report Card. Upon completion of their PK-12 education, our students have
college and career start plans. The District is also a member of the BMP
Special Education Cooperative which assists the District in providing a
continuum of services for all students. The District offers a well-rounded educational program that
assists students in developing the skills necessary to meet the educational and
societal challenges they need to be prepared for the 21st Century. The Board of
Education, administration, teachers, and support staff work closely together to
meet the needs of our students. This was highlighted when the District was included
in the Harvard Graduate Studies program, for work with the GearUp Grant. The District deployed a five-year Strategic Plan in the
spring of 2016. Through this planning process, the District identified seven
key areas. The seven areas are student success, quality personnel, culture of
belonging, school finance, facilities, policy, and future building. The
District will continue to partner with all community members and staff to
implement and monitor the plan. District 103 welcomes stakeholder feedback/input and we want
to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to contact our staff with questions or
recommendations. Sincerely, Chris Dougherty
Superintendent of Schools
