Thank you to our cooks Laurie, Doris, and Kathy for their efforts during this pandemic. They work to provide meals for 170 students a day. They have sent home meals such as chicken nachos, vegetable soup, spaghetti, cheeseburgers, ham and cheese sandwiches, corn dogs, hot dogs on pretzel buns, make-your-own pizza kits and more. We are lucky to have these three dedicated ladies that work hard to provide our students with nutritional meals! #triopia

Good Afternoon:
Triopia's High School Graduation is tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 12th, 2020 at 7:00 PM. We will await further guidance from Governor Pritzker in regards to the feasibility of this. We will follow all guidelines required by the state for public gatherings if they are allowed at this time. Just know that we realize the importance of this event to the graduating seniors and families, however, we will follow guidelines set by the state for the safety of all individuals. If we find that this date isn't doable, we will reassess the situation.
Thank you,
Adam Dean, Superintendent
