Community High School District 117 Students, Staff, and Families
Given the mandatory curfew declaration issued by the Mayor of Antioch, beginning at 8:00 p.m. this evening until 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, District 117 will be in full remote learning tomorrow, August 27th, 2020. No students will be in the buildings and there will be no transportation. This includes all athletic practices and school activities. All District buildings will be closed and all employees will be working remotely. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
The incidents in Kenosha are disturbing to all of us. The proximity of such events causes us to pause and appreciate the safety we have in Antioch and surrounding communities. We have received information that two individuals involved in a deadly incident reside in Antioch. However, they are NOT currently associated with Antioch or Lakes Community High School. One of the alleged individuals was enrolled at Lakes Community High School for a short period of time during the 2017 - 18 school year. We are thankful to our Police Departments’ efforts for increasing patrols and presence around the school to continue to provide the safest environment possible for our students, staff, and community.
