Carl Sandburg High School

What Carl Sandburg High School does

Carl Sandburg High School, established in 1954, is one of three comprehensive public high schools operated by Consolidated High School District 230 (CHSD 230), a government entity formed in 1952 through the merger of Palos and Orland township high school districts. The district serves grades 9-12 across suburban communities in southwestern Chicagoland, including Orland Park, Palos Hills, Tinley Park, and ten surrounding suburbs, with mandatory attendance assigned by residential address within district boundaries. As a public school district, it is funded through local property taxes, state aid, and federal grants, with no tuition charged to district residents.

CHSD 230's operational platform centers on its Digital Learning Program — a 1:1 Chromebook initiative providing every student with a device — integrated with Skyward Qmlativ as the Student Information System, Canvas as the Learning Management System, and Google Apps for Education for collaboration. The technology stack is extended with GoGuardian (device management and student safety), ClassLink (SSO and identity), Edgenuity (curriculum), PearDeck, Kami, Screencastify (classroom engagement), Mastery Manager (assessment), EasyIEP (special education), Laserfiche (workflow), Destiny (library), and WeVideo (video creation). Programs include college-preparatory coursework with AP and dual credit offerings through a partnership with Moraine Valley Community College, the PaCE Framework for postsecondary and career readiness, Pupil Personnel Services for academic and social-emotional support, and a Digital Citizenship curriculum delivered with Common Sense Media.

The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and led by Superintendent Dr. Robert J. Nolting (appointed 2021-22) with an executive team including a Chief Technology & Operations Officer (John Connolly, formerly of Chicago Public Schools), Assistant Superintendents for Instructional Services, Business Services, Student Support and Development, and Human Resources, plus Directors for Technology, Safety and Security, Communications, Facilities, Finance, Pupil Personnel Services, and Postsecondary and Career Readiness. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the district has posted balanced budgets every year since 2003-04 and holds the Illinois State Board of Education's highest Financial Recognition designation.
