Lincolnwood's history dates back to 1844 with the arrival of the Proesel family from Bavaria, and Johann Tess who joined them in 1856. As other Europeans settled in the area, the emerging community first organized itself as Tessville in 1911. In 1936, the Village of Tessville formally became the Village of Lincolnwood. Today, Lincolnwood is an affluent, mature community that is home to over 12,000 culturally diverse residents.
Winnetka District 36 schools have a long tradition of progressive education and parental and community involvement. Ten years before the Village was incorporated in 1869, families in the town made private donations to finance the first public school. Today, children in District 36 attend one of three elementary schools (Crow Island, Greeley, and Hubbard Woods); a fifth/sixth grade center (The Skokie School); and a seventh/eighth grade middle school (Carleton Washburne School).
Award-winning New Trier Township High School delivers an academic program comprehensive in scope and providing the rigor of critical thought. Each department creates dynamic, relevant and challenging curricular offerings for students.
