The excitement of a new school year filled the halls of the Elwood School District’s four buildings – Elwood-John H. Glenn High School, Elwood Middle School, James H. Boyd Intermediate School and Harley Avenue Primary School – as excited students arrived on a sunny Sept. 4 for a fantastic first day of school.

“It was a great first day,” Harley Avenue Principal Dr. Denise Toscano said. “We are so happy to have our students and staff back, and wish everyone a great 2024-2025 school year.”

Incoming sixth graders ventured into Elwood Middle School for the first time on Aug. 28, learning all about their new school during the middle school’s annual orientation.

“We had a great day meeting and welcoming our new sixth grade families,” Principal Christina Moran said. “EMS was filled with smiles, music, and seventh and eighth grade student helpers. It was a great kickoff to the new school year and helped our new students feel excited and at ease as they make the translation to middle school.”
