Grass Lake School District 36

Grass Lake School District 36 is a K-8 school district located in the southern reaches of the village of Antioch, which is in turn located in Lake County, the northeasternmost county in the state of Illinois. The superintendent of the school district is Dr. Terence O'Brien; because Grass Lake School District 36 only has one school, Dr. O'Brien also serves as the principal of his district's only school.

The mascot is the brave, a historical nickname for the Native American.

Grass Lake School was originally a one-room schoolhouse that served Lake County in the late 1800s; instead of closing, like so many of its counterparts, the main building was built up soon after the end of World War II came about; additions to the schoolhouse in the 70s' allowed the new district to give rise to a full-fledged grade school. In the year 2000, more renovation expanded the school, and the old belfry that had served the school in past years was preserved in the school foyer.
