Mokena Public School District 159
708-342-4900
The Mokena Public School District 159 office houses the administrative and superintendent's offices. The offices share the same space as the Elementary School, whose proximity to the Public Library and the Intermediate School places the School District in the heart of Mokena's academic campus. The District is state-accredited and participates in the federal free- and reduced-lunch program. Says Superintendent Karen Perry: "Kids are our top priority. Kids are our future. We have to take care of that."
