Burbank School District 111 is an elementary school district located in Burbank, Illinois, a southwest Chicago suburb just south of Chicago Midway International Airport in Stickney Township, Cook County. The district, which was established in 1923 – nearly a half century before the city incorporated in 1970 – includes seven elementary schools and one junior high school, all of which are located within the city of Burbank; all of the elementary schools enroll students from kindergarten through sixth grade.[2] The district superintendent is Carol Kunst.[3]

  • Richard E. Byrd School (1958), principal Marian Stockhausen[5]
  • Harry E. Fry School (1956), principal Mary Rein, which closed after the 2003–2004 school year and reopened during the 2009–2010 school year.[6]
