J. Sterling Morton High School District 201 is a school district headquartered in Cicero, Illinois, United States. The district serves the town of Cicero, the city of Berwyn and the villages of Lyons, Stickney, and Forest View. A small section of McCook also lies within the district boundaries. The school district is named after Julius Sterling Morton, Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture during his second term, who is best known for founding Arbor Day. The district and its schools are named after Morton because he was friends with Cicero resident and fur trader Portus Baxter Weare.
The district competes in Illinois High School Association athletics as a unified school with the shortened name "Berwyn-Cicero (Morton)".
