Benjamin 25 Community,

Thank you for trusting our school district with your children.  Benjamin School District 25 is special place and I am grateful to serve as your Interim Superintendent of Schools. 

Our employees are dedicated to supporting our children’s growth and development and our partnership with parents and guardians is critical for ensuring that every child is prepared for school.  I can speak from experience of this importance as a 30+ year resident of our school district and that my own children traversed the halls of both Evergreen Elementary and Benjamin Middle School!  We are truly fortunate to have employees of our school district who care deeply about our children.  I have often bragged to friends that Benjamin SD25 is the best kept secret for public education in DuPage County.

Progressing through our Capital Improvement Plan, we are excited for the completion of the new 6 classroom addition at Evergreen Elementary School and the renovation of all instructional spaces during summers 2025 and 2026.  Our focus is to bring our learning spaces into the 21st century as we prepare tomorrow’s leaders for their roles in society.  The Evergreen addition along with many of the enhancements to our learning spaces will be complete for the start of the 2025-2026 school year. Our school district is in a strong financial position as we are using existing fund balances and a reissue of bonds to fund the capital improvements. All of this is being done without raising our resident’s property tax rates.

As the school year continues, I look forward to meeting you and your families.  Go Eagles and Bengals!

Sincerely,
John R. Langton
Interim Superintendent
