Wilmette District 39 has been awarded the highest possible rating, an Aaa, from Moody’s Investors Service. The Aaa bond rating for General Obligation Limited Tax School Bonds (GOLT) is at the top of Moody’s rating scale and is reflective of the District’s commitment to financial responsibility, stability, and long-term planning.

This morning, we received notification from the Wilmette Police Department (WPD) regarding phoned-in threats made toward several north suburban schools, including Wilmette Junior High School, in what was an apparent “swatting” incident. The WPD responded immediately to investigate. Officers were onsite at WJHS to conduct a full and thorough sweep of the WJHS campus.
