District 75 Superintendent’s Message
November 2025

Thank you for such a warm welcome to Mundelein! Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of you and learning more about what makes this community so special. Every day, I’m reminded how fortunate I am to be part of a district filled with caring families, dedicated staff, and students who make us proud.

As we wrap up the first quarter of the 2025–26 school year, I can already look back with pride on some of the successes and highlights we’ve seen so far. Many of these are included in greater detail in this newsletter.

We’ll update you on the significant progress we’re making on the new Sandburg stage and highlight the success of our first Tiger Truck Fest. I’m so appreciative of all the volunteers, vendors, and families who helped make the evening a big success.

We’re proud to report on our success on the State Report Cards, released in October by the Illinois State Board of Education. Look in this newsletter for links to letters from our principals and to the State Report Cards themselves.

This newsletter also includes stories from our award-winning D75 Board of Education. They received their second School Board Governance Award and show no signs of slowing down. These volunteers embody the Mundelein spirit of giving back to your community, and I’m grateful to work with them.  

Recently, the Board approved conducting a master facility plan and adjusted the school calendar so that D75 remains in sync with the Mundelein High School schedule.

It’s a great time to be part of District 75. We have big plans for our schools and even bigger dreams for your children. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to make District 75 an even better place to learn and grow.

Dr. Corey Tafoya,
Superintendent, District 75
