This program is designed to empower and support teenagers aged 15-19 who reside around the Comer Cox park. These students would be predominantly served by Lanphier High School and Southeast High School. The primary goal of this program is to provide resources and opportunities to underprivileged youth in our community, helping them build valuable skills and connections for their future success.
The Comer Cox Teen Empowerment Zone offers a range of activities and support services tailored to the needs of its participants. From access to community resources to job shadowing opportunities within the Park District, our program aims to provide teenagers with valuable experiences and mentorship that can help them thrive personally and professionally.

District staff, families and students, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your resilience and patience in navigating e-learning. Special kudos to our students for consistently logging in, following directions for attendance, and diligently completing assignments.
Many of you have already turned your sights to tomorrow. We know that clear weather advice can be elusive and unpredictable. At this time, we plan to be in session. However, please make sure to have a plan in place for both in-school and e-learning.
If, for any reason, an extra day is needed, we will make the call by 6 a.m. tomorrow based on updates from First Student Bus Service. As of now, the forecast predicts temperatures above freezing, with a gradual warm-up throughout the day. Your understanding during these weather-related decisions is truly valued.
