Cultural Celebrations

Community Consolidated School District 146 is home to students, families, and staff from many different backgrounds and cultures. We celebrate our rich diversity; it is what makes CCSD 146 so special. Diversity is being open to what makes each of us unique by bringing those different identities and perspectives to our school community. 

We offer the following Multicultural Calendar and Observances as an informational tool. This does not represent official CCSD 146 school holidays; the purpose of offering this resource is to increase understanding of and respect for the religious, ethnic and cultural commitments and obligations of CCSD 146 students, staff and community members.
