Create a Legacy

The Legacy Page provides friends and loved ones a way to memorialize staff, students, friends, or community members who have created a legacy through their dedication and support of District 116.

A memorial on the Legacy page is created by the following: a donation to the RLAS-116 Education Foundation of $116 or more and submission of a biography of the deceased highlighting their contributions to District 116. Donations of $1,116.00 or more are recognized with the 116 logo next to the name of the deceased. Donations of $11,116.00 or more have the name of the deceased appearing in blue as well as the 116 logo.

A suggestion of donations to the Round Lake Area Education Foundation in lieu of flowers in the obituary notice is appreciated.
