HAPPY NEW YEAR from St. Charles Community Schools!!!

The elementary Chess Club's final meeting was just before Christmas break, and it was celebrated with a pizza party. Mr. Rousseau, the group's leader, thanked these wonderful kids for embracing new challenges and learning the game. We are excited about expanding this club in the upcoming year.

2024 has been an amazing year! As we approach the 2025 school year, we want to highlight one of the district's final projects. Enjoy this Christmas lip dub organized by Mr. Swain and his broadcasting class.

To all of the families of St. Charles Community...

During the varsity basketball games for both girls and boys on Thursday, December 19th, Superintendent Mark Benson was honored for his commitment to announcing the games whenever time allowed him to do so. He was presented with a signed jersey from the varsity players. The jersey's most meaningful features were the signatures of the students and the number 5, which belonged to his eldest son's jersey when he played varsity basketball for STC. We wish you the best, Mr. Benson! Please visit us when you're in the area....Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.
