Attention, members of the Willowbrook class of 2026!

There’s still time for incoming freshmen to register for Willowbrook’s Progress program, which provides participants with an opportunity to become acquainted with the school’s surroundings and expectations and what it means to be a Willowbrook Warrior.

Progress will be run by a team of Willowbrook teachers from various backgrounds and disciplines, who will assist students in making a smooth transition from junior high/middle school to high school. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about topics such as lockers, homework, the cafeteria, transportation, dress code, athletics and clubs/activities, daily procedures and the Warrior Code.

Below are details about the Progress program.

When: 8 to 10 a.m. on Aug. 1 through 5 (Bus transportation will be provided for those who qualify.)

Where: Willowbrook High School, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave. in Villa Park
