Mattoon Community Unit School District 2 is a unified school district located in the city of Mattoon, which in turn is located in Coles County, Illinois.

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]
