School Day
School begins at 7:20 am and students are released at 8:15 pm Monday through Friday. A normal school day consists of 7 class periods with a 25 minute lunch period and 25 minute “access” or study hall period. During junior or senior year, students have the option to take classes at the Technology Center of Du Page (TCD) as an alternative to the first 4 class periods. There are 6 different lunch periods starting at 10:20 and ending at 12:33. You must stay on campus for lunch however there is a courtyard for juniors and seniors to eat outside if they choose. Students can bring their own lunch however the school also provides a lunch service as well.
The Library Learning Center is open daily for students and staff from 6:30 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. Students may visit the school's 31 online databases or peruse the 29,000 books for information. Students may visit the LLC to print, relax, research, study and collaborate before and after school, at lunch, or during study hall. Mrs. Piggoni is the school's library media specialist.
About every other Wednesday, the school has "Late Start" days where the teachers get together early in the morning to talk about things and the kids get to sleep in a bit longer. However, the buses still come and go at the same time.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or day:
“The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“There is not a more disgusting spectacle under the sun than our subserviency to British criticism. It is disgusting, first, because it is truckling, servile, pusillanimous—secondly, because of its gross irrationality. We know the British to bear us little but ill will—we know that, in no case do they utter unbiased opinions of American books ... we know all this, and yet, day after day, submit our necks to the degrading yoke of the crudest opinion that emanates from the fatherland.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
