Spring 2023 

Community Education Program Update

  • Registration for Com Ed 128 Winter Spring 2023 is currently taking place.
  • During the Winter Spring Community Education term there will be a reduced number of classes to choose from. The program will continue to offer in-person classes at either Libertyville High School or Vernon Hills High School and at off-site at businesses and “Live Online” classes will be offered. 
  • Plus we have over 1,300 online courses and certificate programs in varied content areas for career and personal, professional development and advanced career development through our partnerships with Education to Go and UGOTClass.
  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the D128 Community Education Program is following Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) guidance and is "recommending" anyone participating in a program that takes place in a District 128 building to wear a face mask at all times and practice 3-foot social distancing from each other whenever possible.  Click here to view the most up to date District 128 Culture of Care Comprehensive Plan.
  • Our classes primarily provide educational and personal growth opportunities for learners age 16 and above, but we also offer youth and family classes.
