Making sure students and families have the resources to succeed, District 131 recently opened the Resilience Education Center- a state-of the art learning facility to promote student and family well-being through mental health services, social wellness and college & career readiness through industry-level course offerings.
 
High School students have the opportunity to participate in advanced industry-level electives in art, music production, broadcast journalism, dance, yoga, gaming, coding and culinary arts daily at the Resilience Education Center.  After school, 7th through 10th graders will have the opportunity to attend the Resilience Education Center for activities hosted by staff and other community partners.  
 
Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Norrell made sure that the space was born out of conversations with middle and high school students answering the ultimate question, what activities would make them put down their cell phone?  Students gave very specific answers and that is what was built.
 
Private individual and group counseling are also available for students who are referred to such services, situating the space as one which nurture both the social and emotional development of students–a true safe space.
 

At the R.E.C. you’ll find:
• Private Group and Individual Counseling Rooms
• 2-D & 3-D Art Rooms
• Music Production Studio
• E-Sports Center
• Dance & Yoga Studio
• Broadcast Television News Recording Studio (students will be able to produce broadcast newscasts live from here with industry-level camera equipment, an anchor desk, and more)
• Podcast Studio
• Culinary Arts Kitchen
• Café/Coffee Bar and more!
