Families of students of all ages are invited to join us to learn more about the GEM Program at Barrington High School! 

The GEM Showcase will be an open house event that will allow GEM students to highlight some of their learning experiences and independent research during the first half of the 2023-24 school year. Refreshments will be served.

The BHS GEM (Grow, Excel, Magnify) program, which is only open to seniors this school year, allows students to expand their learning through flexible, project-based learning options and field experiences during the school day. Schedules are customized to each student, allowing them to mix GEM experiences with traditional classes. The district plans to expand the program by offering it to juniors and seniors for the 2024-25 school year.

Superintendent

"I believe Barrington 220 is truly an amazing school district. I have worked in several positions in D220, which has afforded me a unique perspective of the ways that students learn and grow within our different school communities. I have also experienced firsthand my own children thriving as students and benefitting from all that Barrington 220 has to offer. As Superintendent of Schools, I look forward to building upon our strong academic programs and rich innovation history as we implement our Framework 220 Strategic Plan."

    Barrington 220 is a place where students establish the fundamentals to forge their own paths. We read, write, think, discuss, and create. As a current faculty member and proud graduate of Countryside, Prairie, and BHS, I look forward to working with students every day to create the next generation of thinkers, learners, and creators. There's nowhere else I'd rather teach. I'm proud to work in Barrington 220 and I'm glad you're here.Cary WaxlerBHS Social Studies Teacher

    Barrington 220 is an innovative school district that provides a breadth of offerings which prepare students to successfully pursue their passions. The support of our community is second to none. I am proud to serve on the Barrington 220 Board of Education! Sandra Ficke-BradfordBoard of Education President

    Barrington 220 has done a great job with building avenues for us to explore. For example, there's choir, band and orchestra to explore the fine arts. There's robotics club, scholastic bowl, speech tournament, spelling bee. You can learn about languages, you can learn about cultures, you can learn about different types of people in general. Zar RomanStation Student

    Teaching is shining a light on your students' paths. I love providing a nurturing environment for students to learn, making connections with families, and fostering a strong feeling of community. Together, we grow!Sandra ChangGrove Avenue Teacher

    I really like the Barrington 220 School District because I think it's an enjoyable place and I feel like when you walk into any building it's a positive environment. Cami FordBHS Student

    I love how Barrington 220 schools offer a bunch of unique opportunities such as the Spanish Dual Language Program, which I am fortunate to be a part of. It's such an eye-opening experience and when you get older it's almost a sense of biculturalism, which I think is very awesome to be a part of.Emerson WulbeckerPrairie student
