Welcome Back to the 2026-27 School Year: A Message from Superintendent Jessica Santee

August 10, 2026

Dear Glenbard District 87 Students and Families,

Welcome to a new school year!

We are so excited to welcome our students back to Glenbard and begin another year filled with learning, growth, connection and opportunity. There is always a special energy that comes with the start of school, and we cannot wait to see our classrooms, hallways and campuses come alive once again.

This year brings so much to look forward to. Across our schools, students will have new opportunities to learn, explore their interests, build relationships and challenge themselves in meaningful ways. We are also excited for students and educators to experience new and improved learning spaces throughout our buildings, designed to support collaboration, creativity and an engaging school experience.

Most importantly, we are excited to welcome our students back and continue building school communities where every student feels supported, connected and inspired to succeed.

Whether this is your first year at Glenbard or you are returning for another, we hope you begin the year with excitement and confidence about all that is ahead. There will be new experiences, new friendships, new challenges and countless opportunities to grow.

Thank you to our families for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are looking forward to making this a fantastic year for every Glenbard student.

Here’s to a great school year ahead. We are glad you are here, and we cannot wait to get started!

Welcome back, Glenbard!

Jessica Santee
Superintendent
Glenbard Township High School District 87
