Proviso Township High Schools District 209

What Proviso Township High Schools District 209 does

Proviso Township High Schools District 209 is a public secondary education district organized under Illinois state law as a local education agency, headquartered at 8601 Roosevelt Road in Forest Park, Illinois. Founded in 1910 with the opening of Proviso East High School, the district now operates three high schools serving students from ten communities across western Cook County: Proviso East High School (Maywood, est. 1910), Proviso West High School (Hillside, est. 1958), and the Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy (PMSA, Forest Park, est. 2005). The district is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Education with three student members, and on December 2, 2024 appointed Krish Mohip — formerly Chief of Schools at Chicago Public Schools, CEO of Youngstown City Schools, and senior leader at the Illinois State Board of Education — as Superintendent. The district offers standard, honors, and Advanced Placement coursework, selective-enrollment Math & Science Academy programs at all three campuses with weighted GPA, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways in Applied Technology, Business, Engineering/Technology, and Family and Consumer Science with industry-recognized certifications.

The district delivers academic, student-support, and operational services through an integrated educational technology stack. PowerSchool functions as the Student Information System handling grades, attendance, transcripts, bus routes, and registration; Schoology serves as the Learning Management System for course content and parent access; Clever provides single sign-on across applications; Frontline manages staff absence and time; Renaissance Star delivers math and reading assessments; and Microsoft 365 supports faculty and staff productivity. College and career readiness is delivered through Naviance, Honest Game (NCAA/NAIA eligibility tracking), and a Triton College Dual Degree / Dual Enrollment partnership. Supporting services include First Student bus transportation with FirstView real-time GPS tracking, nutrition services providing free breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks to all students via LINQ Connect, and a Loyola University Chicago-operated School-Based Health Center at Proviso East offering free primary care, vaccinations, behavioral health, and medical nutrition therapy.

Revenue is generated under a public-education funding model. Primary inflows are local property taxes (drawn across ten constituent communities), Illinois state education funding via the Evidence-Based Funding formula, and federal grants including Title I and IDEA. Secondary revenue comes from registration fees ($150 early, $250 regular, $150 second-semester), a $40 technology fee, PE uniforms ($20), elective course fees ($15 per 0.5 credit), summer school ($100-$125), driver's education ($100 classroom, $150 behind-the-wheel, $20 permit), and facility rentals ranging from $65 to $375 per hour depending on space and community-partner status. Go-to-market is enrollment-based: families register through PowerSchool or in person, with selective Math & Science Academy admissions via ScribOrder using PreACT9 and NNAT3 testing. Customer segments are high school students (primary), families and parents (primary, served through parent centers and counseling offices), and community members (secondary, served through facility rentals and engagement events).

Others

• PowerSchool Group: Vendor providing the Student Information System used across all three District 209 campuses.
