School Board Meetings
Miss Dorothy Emily Davis, a graduate of the University of Chicago, came to Orland and Palos Townships in 1919 in order to organize an accredited Chicago high school for the students in the area who were unable to attend the Chicago high schools. The Orland High School was established through a provision in the Community High School Law of 1917, making it possible to secure funds for all costs, except building and equipment, from the non-high school district revenue of the State of Illinois.
Miss Davis and the first thirteen students of Orland High School had classes in one room located on the second floor of the old village hall in Orland Park. In March of 1920, the high school was accredited by the State, making graduates eligible to enter the Chicago high schools without entrance examinations and providing full credit for courses taken at the Orland High School.
The next year, Miss Davis and twenty-eight students moved into two rooms in the new bank building. At the end of that school year, the original thirteen students were graduated.
After occupying the old grammar school building for the first part of the third year, Miss Davis and thirty-one students moved to a new five-room school building designed by Mr. Pashley and built by Mr. Mahaffy of Palos Park. In June 1921, another thirteen students graduated. For the next thirty years, makeshift facilities were used to house the expanding high school enrollment. In the 1940s, classes were held in the basement of the grammar school building, in the basement of the Lutheran Church, and in two abandoned stores in the Village of Orland Park. By this time, students were graduating from a fully accredited four-year high school. On May 5, 1952, the voters of Palos and Orland Townships voted to create a new high school by combining High School Districts 221 and 222 into Consolidated High School District 230. A year later, the voters held an election to select the site for the new high school as well as to vote the necessary bonds to construct the building.

From 1993 to 1998, District 230 operated Benjamin Franklin High School, a small laboratory school enrolling approximately 150 students. Franklin was established to be a center for staff development, a catalyst for school restructuring, and an alternative to the traditional high school experience. Students from each of the district's comprehensive high schools volunteered to attend Franklin.

District 230 would like to inform students, families, and staff about Emergency Closing Procedures in the event of inclement weather or other reasons to close campuses.

If it is a Wednesday, the District will run the typical Wednesday fully remote schedule with no Zero Hour or Advisory Period.
For Staff
In the event of an Emergency Closing, all staff will work remotely. The three high schools, the administration center, and Willow Grove will be closed to staff. Only custodial, maintenance, or designated staff needed to remove snow and maintain the safety of the buildings, etc. will report onsite.
Communication
In the event that District 230 needs to close school because of inclement weather, or some other emergency, check the below sources for information. Communication will be sent as soon as possible to allow families and staff to plan accordingly. Every effort will be made to communicate the night before the closing. However, if this is not possible, communication will be sent by 7 a.m. on the day of the closing.
Phone, Text & Email
The district will send an “all call” phone message, text, and email to families announcing a school closing. In the event of an early dismissal due to an emergency, this message will be sent to all emergency contacts provided in Skyward. It is important for families to provide accurate information during the registration process.
