About Us

The School District strives to provide each student with the opportunity to acquire the very best education according to his or her needs and abilities. Upon leaving the school system, each student should have an employable skill and/or an adequate preparation for further training or education so that he or she may become a responsible, productive citizen. The schools also attempt to develop in each student an understanding of and appreciation for our American heritage.

The School District was an out-growth of Charleston Union District, which was created by special charter in 1867. In 1948, Charleston Union and 63 other school districts consolidated into Community Unit School District No. 1

Mission Statement

Based upon the belief that all students can learn and with the understanding that their learning capabilities may vary, it is the mission of Charleston Community School District No. 1 to provide learning environments that allow students the opportunity to maximize their learning capabilities.
