Public Notice
Illinois law (Lawn Care Products Application and Notification Act) requires all school districts to notify students and staff when lawn care chemicals are being used in or around school facilities.
Please be aware that, weather permitting, weed control and fertilization of the Byron High School varsity athletic fields and high traffic common areas around the district will occur on Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12, 2025.
We are committed to minimizing the use of chemicals for weed control and lawn care, but at times, it is necessary for the proper maintenance of the facility. If you have any questions about the application of the lawn fertilizer, please contact the Director of Buildings and Grounds (815) 234-5491 Ext 4300.

On Friday, August 1st, we will be performing a cleanup along the bike path on the north side of the high school. This work will involve the removal of shrubs, plants, weeds, and general overgrowth in the area. We kindly ask that you use caution when in or around this section of the campus during the cleanup. Our goal is to make the path safer, more passable, and free of excessive vegetation.
