Skokie/Morton Grove School District 69 is an elementary school district based in the northern Cook County village for which the district is named: Skokie, Illinois, United States. The district is composed of two elementary schools and one junior high school; one of the two elementary schools is home to a preschool program, while the other elementary school is the only school in the district not located in the village of Skokie.[2] Students that are submitted to the TOPS (Teaching Our Preschoolers) Preschool Program are admitted to one of two teachers in Madison Elementary School,[3] an institution that also teaches students in kindergarten or in grades one and two under direction of principal Christopher Basten.[4]

Those in grades three through five attend Thomas Edison Elementary School in the village of Morton Grove,[5] under direction of principal Andy Carpenter.[citation needed][when?] The last district institution that students attend is Lincoln Junior High School, which accommodates students between grades six and eight,[6] as directed by principal Lorenzo Cervantes.[citation needed][when?] As of 2015 the district superintendent is Margaret Clauson.[7] Each school has a mascot; the mascot of Madison Elementary School is the Superhawk, the mascot of Edison Elementary School is the dolphin,[8] and the Lincoln Junior High mascot is the Spartan.[9]

Lincoln Junior High School runs an intramural sports program, including several clubs.[10]

History
