Why We Love Working In Glencoe

When staff members across Glencoe District 35 were asked, "What do you love about your job in Glencoe School District 35?" we knew we had an opportunity to share a glimpse into the strong community created in our schools. This page serves as a celebration of the passion, dedication and professionalism of the people who make up the Glencoe Schools. We value the daily opportunities to learn together and support the growth of each child.



I love how everyone works together to create a safe and supportive learning environment for children. This encourages optimal levels of achievement and well being for our students.

What I love most at Glencoe School District 35 is the students. Their optimism, creativity and desire to learn makes teaching a pleasure. Also, the day-to-day ups and downs of middle school keep life exciting!

Whether I am in a classroom or lunchroom, on the playground or walking through the hallways there are daily reminders of our students’ intellectual strengths and compassion for others. Their enthusiasm and excitement is contagious. I am blessed to spend each working day in Glencoe School District with incredibly talented students, a high caliber staff, and committed school community.
