Elwood District names Swick as superintendent

The Elwood CCSD 203 Board of Education is pleased to welcome Dr. Matt Swick as the next Superintendent of Elwood Schools.
Dr. Swick was approved last week during the regular Board Meeting and will begin his new role on July 1, 2026 following the retirement of Tim Page on June 30.
Dr. Swick is currently served as the assistant superintendent at Wilmington School District 209U.
“I am truly humbled and honored by the opportunity to serve the students, families and staff of Elwood as the next Superintendent,” Dr. Swick said in a press release.
“I am very excited to complete the next phase of my career in Elwood, within the school that my wife Melissa and her two brothers attended all throughout their elementary and middle school years. I have a great deal of respect for our neighboring school district and the entire community of Elwood.
“Our two school districts have worked closely together over the years in continually advocating for the vitally important federal Impact Aid funds which both of our districts receive as a result of the federal government’s ownership of the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.
“I look forward to continuing forward in working together while serving in this new role as the Superintendent of Elwood School. Grateful for the opportunity to be an Elwood Tiger!”
