Encourage Excellence Every Day with Compassion, Commitment and Community
Celebrate Central
Central has a new, state-of-the-art playground for all students to enjoy. This project was made possible by a generous $70,000 donation from PTO.
Since 2017, the Washington Community Foundation, through its Central 51 Fund, has issued grants to Central District 51 totaling $109,596.
We work closely with the Washington Police Department (WPD) to update our safety protocols. We have incorporated the CrisisGo app for greater communication during a crisis.
Central activities feature Cookie Coders, CIS Knitters, E-Sports, and Central Care Club which hosts community days with acts of service both on and off campus.
STEM program for K-8 that is helping us meet the science standards in more depth at the younger grade levels. We look for ways to offer more to our students and expand the program
Central District 51 has committed to have Art K-8 and our students are now receiving a full Art experience in our flourishing Art Program.
We offer multiple opportunities for students to compete in sports throughout the year. We continue to expand the programs to allow for more ways for kids to participate.
The application for a $50,000 ROE-approved grant has been accepted by the ISBE to provide ceiling tile throughout CIS – the last areas not tiled in the district.
Central 51 PTO's Trojan Trot earned an amazing $90,581 for School Year 24/25! Thank you to our Central families and our community for supporting this year's Trojan Trot!
