Celebrating 100 Years of Progressive Education

Carlton Washburne arrived in The Winnetka Public Schools 100 years ago, introducing Progressive Education to The Winnetka Public Schools. Together we will celebrate how Washburne's legacy has impacted thousands of students in Winnetka, inspired lifelong learning, and fostered a deep connection in our community that is still prevalent 100 years later. See where we started, what's changed, and what has always been at the core of learning in Winnetka.

All are welcome at this free community event, which will feature interactive learning opportunities with students and educators, choral, band and orchestra performances, artifacts from the Winnetka Historical Society, refreshments and more.
