This is a particularly exciting year in Northbrook School District 28 as we kick off construction at all of our schools thanks to our community’s support of a $94.9 million referendum last spring. We have branded this construction our Build 28 initiative. To keep you informed about the projects, each podcast this year will focus on what is happening at our four schools.

In the second episode of the 25-26 school year, Host Dr. Jason Pearson, Superintendent of Schools, sits down for a discussion with Dr. Danielle Moran, Greenbriar Principal, Jessica Donato, Chief School Business Official, and Heather Juhl, Architect from DLA Architects, to discuss how the renovations and additions at Greenbriar are going to enhance teaching and learning for students and staff.
