Since then, as the suburbs grew, District 228 opened three additional schools. Tinley Park High School opened in 1961; Hillcrest High School, in Country Club Hills, opened in 1967; and Oak Forest High School opened in 1970.
The Board of Education is proud of the quality education that is offered to students who reside in Bremen High School District 228. Many children and grandchildren of our original students are now attending district schools. Additionally, the Board employs many staff members who are alumni of the district.
All who are a part of the Bremen District 228 school community take pride in our school district. When you visit us, physically or via this website, we know you will recognize that pride.
