With an ambitious principal and a vibrant arts program, PS 9 is on the cusp of major change. Until recently, many affluent families in the Prospect Heights area avoided this neighborhood school.

Parents of school-age children are enrolling their kids at PS 9, while parents of the very young anticipating that their children will one day enrollare already volunteering, pushing initiatives including an effort to renovate the school's current playground which has equipment in shoddy condition.
