What Evergreen Park Community High School District 231 does

Evergreen Park Community High School District 231 is a public school district operating a single secondary school, Evergreen Park Community High School (EPCHS), on approximately 20 acres at 9901 S. Kedzie Avenue in Evergreen Park, Cook County, Illinois. The district was established in 1951, the school building opened in 1955, and the first graduating class completed in 1957. EPCHS serves grades 9-12 exclusively for residents of the Village of Evergreen Park (district boundaries are coterminous with village limits) and accepts students from three Catholic feeder schools: Most Holy Redeemer, Queen of Martyrs, and St. John Fisher. The district does not charge tuition and is funded through local property taxes, per-pupil state aid, and federal grants including Perkins Performance funding for career and technical education.

The district offers a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum across ten academic departments including Business and Technology, English, Fine Arts, Industrial Technology, Math, Physical Education and Health, Science, Social Studies, Special Education, and World Languages, supplemented by AP coursework, AP Capstone, dual enrollment with Moraine Valley Community College, and Cisco Networking Academy IT certifications. The technology stack spans Finalsite CMS for web presence, Skyward for student information, Naviance for college and career planning, Follett Destiny and Gale for library services, Mastery Manager for gradebook, Tyler iVisions and RevTrak for administration and payments, 8to18 for athletics, and AppliTrack for hiring. Extracurricular programming includes IHSA athletics, National Honor Society, band/choir/color guard, FBLA, Science Olympiad, Scholastic Bowl, and over 20 other clubs.

Revenue mechanics are government-style: property tax collections, state and federal education funding, and ancillary fees from facility rentals and Sports Complex/Aquatic Center memberships (acquired 2019 from the former Evergreen Park Racquet and Fitness Club). Customer acquisition is purely geographic with no sales motion; enrollment follows district residency and parochial feeder agreements. The district maintains ISBE's highest Financial Recognition rating and has received recognition from Niche.com and U.S. News & World Report as a top-ranked high school.
