What New Trier High School does

New Trier Township High School District 203 is a public four-year high school district founded in 1901 and headquartered at 385 Winnetka Ave, Winnetka, Illinois. The district serves approximately 3,658 students across two campuses: the Northfield Campus, which houses freshmen, and the Winnetka Campus, which houses sophomores, juniors, and seniors. A Transition Center in Glencoe supports special education and vocational services. Students enroll through six K-8 sender public school districts covering Glencoe, Kenilworth, Northfield, Wilmette, Winnetka, and portions of Glenview and Northbrook, supplemented by local private and parochial school feeders.

The district operates a comprehensive educational platform organized around 14 academic departments, the nationally recognized Adviser Program that groups roughly 25 students daily through all four years, and a Post-High School Counseling program that supports students from sophomore year through college applications. Technology infrastructure is built on PowerSchool (student information and parent portal), Canvas (learning management), MaiaLearning (college and career planning), Parchment (transcripts), and Quest Food Services via FD MealPlanner and MySchoolBucks for dining. The school also runs 40 interscholastic sports teams, 150+ student clubs, and a performing arts program producing 100+ performances annually, with outcomes including a 27.9 mean ACT composite for the Class of 2025 and 97% college enrollment.

As a public school district, New Trier is funded primarily through local property taxes from affluent North Shore communities, state and federal funding, and periodic bond issuances. The district employs 872 staff (98% of faculty with advanced degrees) and is governed by an elected Board of Education. Revenue from school fees, summer school tuition, and food services supplements core tax funding. The institution is currently pursuing a $15 million bond issuance for infrastructure upgrades at both campuses.
