Grayslake Central was alive with energy on Wednesday, August 13, as the Ramily returned for the first day of the 2025–26 school year. From the moment students walked through the doors, the building buzzed with excitement, curiosity, and a strong sense of community.

District 127 kicked off the 2025-26 school year with a high-energy Opening Day celebration that reminded us all why community matters in education. Staff from both Grayslake Central and Grayslake North came together for a morning full of school spirit, music, laughter, and heartfelt recognition. The event was a showcase of the district’s theme for the year: Community Building.
On August 8, Grayslake District 127 officially welcomed the Class of 2029 as incoming freshmen at both Grayslake North and Grayslake Central High Schools. Building community is the D127 theme for the year. Orientation serves as more than a tour. It’s a rite of passage where students come together for the first time as one class, united by purpose and potential.
