The School City of East Chicago, in partnership with the East Chicago Public Library, is excited to present our Summer Reading Program! This collaborative effort encourages students to stay engaged with reading all summer long through fun, educational activities hosted at the library.

We are proud to share that Linda Padilla, Principal at Harrison Elementary School, has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 Northwest Indiana Influential Woman of the Year in Education! 🌟

Each Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship provides for full tuition, required fees and a special allocation of up to $900 per year for required books and required equipment for four years of undergraduate study on a full-time basis leading to a baccalaureate degree at any eligible Indiana public or private nonprofit college or university. Lilly Endowment Community Scholars may also participate in the Lilly Scholars Network (LSN), which connects scholars with resources and opportunities to be active leaders on their campuses and in their communities. Both the scholarship program and LSN are supported by grants from Lilly Endowment to Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI).
