What the Foundation means to D128 students and D128

Community High School District 128 - Consistently recognized among "The Best"
Thanks to your commitment and support, Libertyville and Vernon Hills High Schools’ academic, athletic, community education, fine and performing arts and student service programs are consistently recognized as being among the very best in the country.

The District’s successes can be seen not only in standardized test scores and graduation rates, but also in the awards it receives, including:
*Bright Red Apple Award of Excellence based on criteria such as academic performance.
*SchoolSearch 2009 Bright A+ Award of Academic Excellence honors districts with academic performance in the top 5% of school districts in Illinois.
*U.S. News & World Report's list of "America's Best High Schools"--one of 505 schools out of 18,000.
