“What excites me about Maercker District 60 is the diversity! I am always learning from my students about their different cultures, traditions, and beliefs. I am happy to share about myself with my students as well and get many questions from them about my mixed cultural background and traditions. We value each other and strive to make everyone feel included.”
- Lana Nouti-Abubaker- EL Resource Teacher, Maercker Intermediate School
“One of the main reasons I chose D60 is because I had firsthand experience of the impact this district has on kids and families and I wanted to be a part of such important work. My children attended D60 and had great academic, social, and athletic opportunities. They thrived here and are thriving in high school now as a result of the preparation D60 provided.”

“
There is a strong sense of professionalism, empathy, and mutual support here! The teachers work well together and do what they can to support each other while always keeping in mind what is best for the students. The kindness that teachers show each other, and their students, is really remarkable. Thanks to our size, everyone knows each other on a deeper level than other, larger buildings that I have worked in.”
- George Huff, Band Teacher, Westview Hills Middle School
“At Maercker D60 we create engaging, multicultural, student-centered lessons with our grade level teams. We are encouraged to continue to perfect our craft as lifelong learners to meet the needs of all our students through our conversations in our PLCs and Professional Development.”

“I was initially attracted to Maercker District 60 for its size. When I interviewed, the Dual Language Program was a vision. I was able to get in on the ‘ground floor’ and share my experiences.I was able to be part of the committee that envisioned, designed, and implemented a quality program. I am proud to have seen the idea come to life and thrive in our children!”
- Diane Campbell - BIL/ESL Teacher - Maercker Intermediate School
“What excites me about working in Maercker District 60 each day is the group of enthusiastic and diverse learners I get the privilege of educating. Working at District 60 allows staff members to use their creativity and experiences to plan engaging lessons. Teachers don’t 'teach out of a box' but get to work with teammates and gear learning towards what the students need and are interested in.”
