A Message from the Principal

Success Starts Here — We Help Kids Win! Rooted in the Work. At Morrill, every child’s success story begins with connection, care, and community. As a proud Chicago Public Schools Sustainable Community School, we believe in educating the whole child — nurturing academic excellence, creativity, and well-being through strong partnerships and support. Our students thrive through engaging classes in Dance, Spanish, Art, Computer Technology, and STEM, as well as a wide range of after-school programs offered daily until 5 p.m. We are deeply committed to meeting the needs of our families with a strong network of support that includes a full-time Social Worker, daily Nursing Support, a Bilingual Coordinator, full-time Case Manager, and two School Counselors who care for the social, emotional, and academic success of every child. At Morrill, we are more than a school — we are a community where Success Starts Here because We Help Kids Win! Each day, we plant seeds of growth, hope, and opportunity, reminding our students that the WIN is in the WORK — and together, we are rooted in results.
