Champaign Unit 4 Schools Welcome to the Champaign Unit 4 Schools page! Here we will share updates, breaking news, and photos from our community schools.

ABOUT:
Champaign Community Unit School District #4 is located in Champaign County in east central Illinois. Students residing within the City of Champaign, the Village of Savoy and the Village of Bondville attend our schools. The District currently educates nearly 10,000 students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade and employs over 1,500 administrators, teachers, and support personnel. The Dist

rict has a $102 million operating budget and operates 22 facilities. Community Relations staff will make every effort to respond to questions on our Facebook
page within two business days. However, because our resources are limited and the question may require research, more time may be needed. Your patience is appreciated. You are always welcome to call the District directly at 217-351-3800 with time-sensitive questions. Champaign Unit 4 School District (CUSD #4) welcomes the community’s contributions to our page.

Unit 4 Shines at CUSchoolsFoundation Kick-Off Breakfast

Champaign Unit 4 Schools was well represented at this week’s CU Schools Foundation Kick-Off Breakfast, where educators and students shared how community partnerships and innovative teaching are making a difference for students.

Centennial Choir Members under the direction of Stefanie Eustice opened the event with a beautiful song.

Daneye Carter and Danielle Mallett of Stratton Academy of the Arts highlighted the impact of their First Grade Exchange grant, which gives young learners the opportunity to build important financial literacy skills.

Katie Flugge and Central High School student Jaydon Sibley shared how the Webber & Thies Adopt a School program connects Central social studies classes with professionals in the legal field. Jaydon spoke about how the experience strengthened his interest in the law and further inspired his dream of one day becoming a judge.

The breakfast also celebrated Kayla Leitschuh, librarian at Franklin STEAM Academy, as the recipient of the Mann-Hankel Teaching Excellence Award. Kayla shared how her work in the school library uses literacy to create a place where every student can see themselves, their experiences and their possibilities reflected in the books they read.

We are proud of these Unit 4 educators and students for representing our District and grateful to the CU Schools Foundation and its community partners for investing in experiences that expand learning and opportunity for our students.
