Vi Vision sion for or Ed Educat ucation ion in in Cha hampaign mpaign In Champaign Unit 4 Schools, we believe: • Learning should be rigorous, interdisciplinary, and collaborative. • Education should be experiential, community-centric, relevant, promoting whole child development and social-emotional well-being of students. • By partnering with key community partners (such as Parkland College, the University of Illinois, major employers, and the Trades), we should provide students educational opportunities that provide viable post-secondary careers and pathways. These spaces need to be flexible and versatile to respond to changing economic trends. • Access for all students to all on-campus co-curricular and extracurricular facilities will be established at both high schools to enrich student experiences inside and outside the classroom. What will education look like 20-30 years from now?

Students with more social capital are able to more easily access offsite extracurricular activities. If extracurricular activities are available on-site, all students have greater access to those opportunities that deepen the connection to school and enrich the high school experience.
