The Wethersfield Community Unit School District #230 is proud to announce that Wethersfield High School has once again earned an “Exemplary” Designation from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). This distinction, released today as part of the 2025 Illinois School Report Card, places Wethersfield High School among the top 10 percent of all schools statewide for the second consecutive year.
The “Exemplary” designation is the highest performance level recognized by ISBE and is based on a comprehensive evaluation of several key indicators, including academic achievement, school climate (as measured through the 5Essentials Survey), student attendance, and overall student growth.
“This honor is a reflection of the collective commitment of our students, staff, and families,” said Superintendent Dr. Andrew Brooks. “The Wethersfield community continues to demonstrate what can be achieved when everyone works together to create a positive, supportive, and academically rigorous learning environment.”
The district extends its appreciation to students, parents, teachers, and support staff for their continued efforts and contributions to this success. The Exemplary designation highlights Wethersfield’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement.

Our Driver’s Ed students had the opportunity to hear from Trooper Jason Wilson this week! He discussed what drivers should do when being pulled over—including having a license and insurance card ready—and how to stay calm and respectful during a traffic stop. Trooper Wilson also reviewed teen driving curfew hours and explained the exemptions that allow for driving beyond those times. He shared real-life stories from his experiences on the road and reminded students that road rage must be avoided, as we never know who else is behind the wheel. Thank you, Trooper Wilson, for sharing your knowledge and helping our students become safe, responsible drivers!

Dear Wethersfield Community Members,
I wanted to take a moment to personally share some news with you. After much thought and prayer, I have accepted a position to become the next Superintendent of Schools for Knoxville CUSD #202, beginning July 1, 2026. My resignation from Wethersfield will take effect on June 30, 2026.
This was not an easy decision. Wethersfield has been a special place to serve. Together, we’ve accomplished great things—earning an Exemplary designations from the State, expanding the arts, creating new learning environments like the AR/VR lab, and tackling major facility improvements that will serve students for years to come. Just as importantly, we’ve built upon a culture rooted in kindness, teamwork, and pride—which makes this “One Block, One Flock” community feel like family.
I want to sincerely thank our Board of Education for their trust and partnership, and our incredible administrators, teachers, and staff for your dedication to kids every single day. In particular, I have great confidence in Mr. Tyler Nichols and Mr. Kyle Dennison, whose leadership, character, and steady presence will help guide the district through this transition and continue to move Wethersfield forward.
While I’m excited about returning to Knoxville, where my teaching career began nearly three decades ago, please know that Wethersfield will always hold a very special place in my heart. I am deeply grateful for the relationships, the trust, and the shared sense of purpose that define this community.
Over the next several months, my focus remains squarely on finishing strong—supporting our students, staff, and district initiatives, and helping ensure a seamless leadership transition.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey with all of you. Dr. B.
