C.A.P.E. is District 202’s committee for the Coordination of Administration and Parent groups for Educational efficiency. It comprises parents and district administrators representing all District 202 school and district-level parent organizations.

This award is different from the individual C.A.P.E. Awards given to one volunteer, one staff member and one teacher from each school in District 202. This award recognizes someone who serves the entire community.
The 2025 C.A.P.E. Community Award winner will be announced and recognized at the 49th Annual C.A.P.E. Award Reception and Ceremony on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Plainfield North High School, 12005 S. 248th Avenue, Plainfield.
C.A.P.E. serves as a resource to and conduit between parent groups and district administration. C.A.P.E. has recognized parents, community members, teachers, and staff members for their commitment to students, their schools and community since its inception.
