PROJECTS ---
The Partnership for Educational Progress has helped all of our Community School Districts with various projects. Through community and financial support we look forward to continuing that support for years to come. Listed below are projects past and present.
GLENBARD TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 87

Glenbard Township High School District 87 is the third largest high school district in Illinois. Dr. Michael Meissen is the superintendent of schools. Glenbard encompasses 45 square miles within DuPage County, a suburban area some 30 miles west of Chicago. The communities of Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights and Lombard lie within the district's boundaries, along with portions of Bloomingdale, Hanover Park, Addison, Downers Grove, Wheaton and unincorporated areas.

PEP partnered with Glenbard District 87 to increase the use of Glenbard West’s Memorial Field for the benefit of all Glenbard West students by installing a synthetic turf field. The field was completed and re-dedicated in a ceremony on September 25, 2010. This is an exciting time for Glenbard West which now has a durable field available on its campus which can be used for a greater amount of time year-round. Future plans for the field include a concession area, bleachers and lighting. All $500+ donors are being recognized with a personalized brick paver along a pathway west of the field. Tax deductible contributions to the Glenbard West Memorial Field Turf PEP Fund may be made to PEP by check or by going to

Wm. Hammerschmidt School Spirit Brick Program
Wm. Hammerschmidt is completing its 75th Anniversary Spirit Brick Beautification Program. Through generous contributions made to the Spirit Brick Pep Fund, the final bricks have been laid at Wm Hammerschmidt School. The bricks symbolize a profound gratitude for the 75 years of students, teachers, principal, support staff and a wonderful community, all who have supported education at Wm Hammerschmidt School.
Park View Brick Program
In honor of the school's 50th Anniversary, Park View School, in Lombard Elementary School District 44, recently finished the Park View Legacy Brick Project. The purpose of this Fund is to collect contributions to provide a brick pathway in the outdoor courtyard at Park View school. The courtyard at Park View is used as a classroom for all students, when circumstances and weather permit.
