PHILOSOPHY

 We believe it is the responsibility of Community Unit School District #4 to provide opportunities which encourage learning to the maximum potential of each student.  All students are accepted with the realization that their instructional needs differ.  An environment shall be established which fosters effective interaction between students and staff, encouraging students to become informed decision makers, able to pursue academic, professional, and personal goals.  Learning is enhanced when students, teachers, support staff, administrators, school board members, parents and the community are all engaged in the education process.  The most valuable lesson we teach – by word and by deed – is that learning is a lifelong endeavor in a changing society. 

 MISSION STATEMENT

 Community Unit School District #4, in cooperation with parents and community, will provide opportunities and encouragement for students to acquire skills, knowledge, and a sense of responsibility in a safe environment that will prepare them for their roles in a changing global society.
