🍁 Highwood Residents K-12 Grade Can Register as Residents
To provide equity and inclusion for all our Highland Park and Highwood school-aged participants, resident privileges, including priority registration and resident fees, are now extended to all Kindergarten through Grade 12 students living in the geographic boundaries of North Shore School District 112 and Highland Park High School. Parents of these children are not eligible for resident fees.

🍁 Need Financial Assistance?
We do not want a program fee to be a deterrent to you or your family from participating in programs. If you are a Highland Park or Highwood resident experiencing financial hardship, please email [email protected] or call 847.579.3101 to speak with our staff about available scholarship opportunities. All scholarships and inquiries regarding financial aid are completely confidential.
