Why choose Dirksen?

The staff at Dirksen strive to serve as positive role models and will consistently lead by example. Junior high school can be a tough time in adolescence - while teenagers need support and guidance, peer influence is very strong. This is also a time when our students begin making decisions about high school, college, and careers.

What is Dirksen Education Center?
