Equity & Belonging
Lyons Township High School District 204 is committed to creating a safe and affirming environment where every member of our community can learn, grow, and belong.
We recognize that in order to achieve these beliefs, we must actively work to foster a supportive environment that allows all to feel respected and visible, and embraces the rich and diverse identities that each individual holds.
Lyons Township High School remains committed to building a community based on a foundation of equity and inclusion where all students are treated with respect and dignity and know they belong. As an institution that fosters the physical, social, and emotional well-being of its students, we pledge to continue to promote practices, systems, and processes that advance equity, access, and inclusivity.
We understand the impact all of our decisions have on our students, their families, and our community. Decisions will be made to advance success, promote growth, and support the social and emotional health of all LT students.
Improving academic achievement and promoting student engagement in all LT has to offer remain top District priorities. We will continue to partner with associate school districts, colleges, community agencies, and others to continually enhance student opportunities, improve student preparedness, and provide positive learning environments for all students at Lyons Township High School.
