Director of Student Services

My name is Laura Guarraci, and it is my pleasure to serve as the Director of Student Services in Niles Elementary School District 71. I am honored to be part of the Culver School community and look forward to continuing to connect with each of you and your children.  

I started in this role at Culver at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. Prior to joining Culver I was a student services learning coordinator in North Shore School District 112 for six years and taught special education for seven years in District 112 and at Cove School. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Special Education at Northeastern Illinois University and received my master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University.

Working in Niles feels a bit like coming home to me because I live in the surrounding area and even held my first job at Niles Oasis Waterpark! I have three children of varying ages, and we can often be found at Iceland for a hockey practice or game, or attending swimming lessons at Niles Family Fitness. I hope to be able to introduce them to you at one of our many extracurricular or family events this year.

For those of you whom I have not yet met, I look forward to the opportunity and hope that we will get together soon, whether it's at a meeting, in the office, at drop-off of pick-up, or at one of our nighttime engagements.

My door is always open, so please feel free to stop in and introduce yourself, or contact me via email or phone to talk further.

Best,

Laura Guarraci
