District 302 was formed July 1, 1948 as a part of the nation-wide trend to consolidate rural and other small school districts into larger more modern entities capable of offering more comprehensive programs and services. The district is a unit school district, which means that it services students from preschool through high school.

The district encompasses 140 square miles in southwestern Kane County and is at the western edge of the Fox River Valley. Within its boundaries are all or parts of the incorporated Villages of Aurora, Cortland, Elburn, Kaneville, Maple Park, Montgomery, North Aurora, Sugar Grove and Virgil. Also included are two area codes, eleven zip codes, all or part of eight townships and nineteen voter precincts.

The district is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Education. No more than three board members can be from the same township. Board members receive no monetary compensation for their service.
