For the first time in Larkin High School’s 64-year history, the Royals experienced a true home-field advantage!

The celebration began Thursday with a ribbon-cutting for the new Royals Athletic Complex and continued Friday as Larkin hosted its first varsity soccer and football games on Ray Haley Field. During Homecoming Week, students, staff, families, alumni, and community members came together to celebrate a place generations of Royals have dreamed of calling their own.

More than a new turf field, track, and stadium, this complex is a place to build connections, strengthen a sense of belonging, and create memories that will become part of Larkin’s story for generations to come.

As U-46 transitioned to a true middle school model where sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are brought together, some of our middle schools have been expanded and renovated to welcome their growing student communities.

Last month, Kenyon Woods and Kimball Middle Schools celebrated the completion of their new spaces with ribbon-cutting ceremonies. These improvements will help create engaging, supportive learning environments for students for years to come! 🎉✂️

🚌 As we begin another great school year in U-46, Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Johnson has an important reminder for our community: Please slow down, stay alert and help keep our students safe.

With school buses back on the road and students traveling to and from school, drivers should allow extra time, follow buses at a safe distance and never pass a school bus when its stop arm is extended and red lights are flashing.

Our shared commitment to safety helps ensure every student arrives ready for a great day of learning.

A groundbreaking ceremony marked an exciting new chapter for the Elgin community as School District U-46 officially celebrated the start of construction on a new elementary school along the Fox River.

The new school will be the first elementary school U-46 has built in Elgin in more than 20 years, replacing a building with roots dating back nearly 140 years. Designed with today’s learners in mind, the school will feature flexible instructional and collaboration spaces, abundant natural light, a two-story library, outdoor learning areas, dedicated preschool classrooms and more.

“What a privilege it is to be able to design and build a school from the ground up with today’s learners in mind,” Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Johnson said.

Made possible through the community’s support of the Unite U-46 initiative, this project represents an investment not only in a historic Elgin neighborhood, but in expanded opportunities for students to learn, connect and thrive. Construction is expected to be completed in time to welcome students in fall 2028.

Thank you to our students, employees, families, community partners and neighbors who joined us to celebrate this milestone.
