Remembering 9/11 in Solidarity

September 11, 2025

The Chicago Board of Education joins the District and the nation in honoring the victims who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, the heroic first responders, and the many families who were forever impacted by the senseless terrorist attacks. 

Around the world and here at home, we continue to witness violence and instability—from the increased presence of federal agents in our streets; from political violence in states such as Utah and Minnesota, to the daily toll of gun violence impacting school communities across the country.

As we mark the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, we continue to hold the nearly 3,000 victims close to our hearts as we stand in solidarity with their families, friends, and communities to denounce violence of any kind and strive for peace, compassion, and a safer world for all to enjoy.
