What Community High School District 94 does

Community High School District 94 is a public secondary school district serving grades 9-12 in West Chicago, Illinois, operating a single main campus (Community High School) under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Kurt Johansen. The district was established in 1921 and draws its student body primarily from three feeder elementary districts: Benjamin School District 25, West Chicago School District 33, and Winfield School District 34. Its core product is comprehensive secondary education, including standard academic coursework, dual-credit options in partnership with the College of DuPage, and career and technical education delivered in partnership with the Technology Center of DuPage. Technology infrastructure centers on a 1:1 Chromebook program integrated with PowerSchool as the student information system and Google Classroom as the learning management platform, supplemented by an E-Learning Day capability.

The district's revenue model is a tax-based public funding model: operating revenue is generated through local property taxes and Illinois state aid formulas, with supplemental private fundraising channeled through the Community High School District 94 Educational Foundation (cumulative grant disbursements of $302,377.55 as of June 2025). Headcount is in the 101-250 employee range, covering instructional, administrative, and operational staff, with contracted food service and other ancillary operations. Capital investment has been funded through multi-year referendum phases completed between 2014 and 2019, and current strategic direction is set by Strategic Plan 2030. Community engagement is reinforced through a Distinguished Alumni program in operation since 2008 and the WeGo Places Wildcat Podcast series.
