History
Today, Mattoon's chief school district is composed of four schools: Riddle Elementary School, which serves grades K-5; [1] Arland D. Williams, Jr. Elementary School, another elementary school that parallels Riddle in terms of grades; [2] Mattoon Middle School, the district's bridge between the elementary and high schools, serves grades 6-8. [3] Mattoon High School serves grades 9-12, finalizing education for students in the community unit school district. [4] The school runs a prekindergarten program called the Franklin Preschool. The newest edition to the district is Leaders Innovating for Tomorrow (LIFT) Central Illinois, a regional high school innovation center that teaches vocational and hands-on learning.
The current superintendent is Tim Condron, [5] the mascot of Mattoon High School is the green wave, [6] while the mascot of Mattoon Middle School is the wildcat. [3]
The original Mattoon High School, famous for its fish-shaped fountain, was relocated in 1956; the fish fountain, which symbolizes the past and future of the district's students, was moved to the new high school in 2005 during renovations. [5]
