Our administrative team, staff, teachers, students, and parents have all collaborated to make this achievement possible, and we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together! The report card reveals that Proviso East has made significant progress in key academic indicators. Our English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency increased by 5%, math by 2%, and science proficiency saw a remarkable 14% rise. Additionally, our graduation rate improved by 2%, while chronic absenteeism decreased by 8%, demonstrating that our students are more engaged and excelling like never before.
A huge thank you goes to our Principal, Mr. Hull, along with the administration team, staff, students, and parents. Our collective efforts have helped Proviso East advance from the bottom 5% of Illinois schools to the 47th percentile. We have progressed from an Intensive Support rating to a Targeted rating in 2022, and now we have reached Commendable. This advancement reflects the strong leadership of our school, our focus on building solid academic foundations, improving attendance, and maintaining high standards for every student.
In recognition of this accomplishment, Mayor Booker of Maywood generously sponsored a celebratory breakfast with school administration to honor this milestone and discuss ways to further support our school community. We will continue to celebrate this remarkable achievement on November 8th with a pep rally. It will be an opportunity for our entire school family to come together, acknowledge our progress, and look forward to an even brighter future!

The mission of CTE and Early College is to establish strategic partnerships that provide parents, students, and community members with a clear understanding of what students need to learn in high school. This collaboration aims to prepare students for life after high school. Our plan is robust and relevant, ensuring real-world success in college and careers. By equipping our students for the future, our communities will be better positioned to compete successfully in the global economy through both industry certifications and various job opportunities, including blue-collar and white-collar roles.
As we journey through the school year together, the health and safety of our students, staff, and community truly remain our top priority! To keep our school environment a safe and healthy place for everyone, we kindly ask for your help with the following:
If your child is feeling unwell or showing any signs of contagious illnesses—like strep throat, COVID-19, the flu, or similar ailments—please keep them at home. Some common symptoms to watch for include:
- Fever
- Sore throat
- Persistent cough
- Shortness of breath
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Fatigue or muscle aches
- Headache
- Loss of taste or smell
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
By keeping your child at home when they are feeling under the weather, you’re playing a vital role in helping us prevent the spread of illnesses and ensuring the well-being of all our students and staff.
Attendance Matters While it's essential to prioritize health and keep sick children at home, we also want to highlight the importance of regular attendance when your child is feeling well. Consistent attendance is key to your child's academic success—each day builds on the last! Frequent absences can make it tough for students to keep up with their classwork, stay engaged in their learning, and develop the important social skills that are crucial during these formative years.
We are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and enriching learning environment for all our students. With your help, we can successfully balance the need for safety with the importance of regular attendance. If your student will be absent, please make sure to communicate with our Attendance Office and their teachers.
Important Reminder
Just a friendly reminder to our new upperclassmen: please submit your physicals along with immunization records, dental, and vision exams using the state-mandated forms (not sports physicals). It’s also important for all students aged 16 and older to get their second meningitis vaccine and provide proof to the Health Center. Please ensure all documents are turned in promptly!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Ms. Northern, our school nurse! She’s available from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM during the school week and can be contacted at Ext: 1797 or via email at knorthern@pths209.org.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community healthy and thriving!
