PBL CUSD #10 was
formed in 1990 from the Paxton and Buckley-Loda School Districts. The
Paxton-Buckley-Loda Community Unit School District includes the communities
of Buckley, Clarence, Loda, Roberts, and Paxton and includes the two
large distinctive subdivisions of Bayles Lake and Lake Iroquois, located
just to the west of Loda. It encompasses parts of five counties; Livingston,
Iroquois, Vermilion, Champaign, and Ford.
PBL includes a total enrollment of approximately 1,500 Pre-kindergarten
through twelfth grade students housed in four buildings. Clara Peterson
Elementary School contains students in Preschool through second grade.
Eastlawn Elementary School contains students in grades three through
five. PBL Junior High School contains students in grades six through
eight. PBL High School contains grades nine through twelve.
The PBL school district is committed to providing an exceptional education
designed exclusively for each of our student's needs. The PBL Board
of Education has demonstrated it's commitment to supporting innovative
and proven instructional programming through responsible allocation
of both human and fiscal resources. Highly qualified staff members are
trained in the latest, scientifically research based, best instructional
practices. The district is dedicated to meeting the ever-changing challenges
facing today's youth through technological and curricular advances.
PBL boasts an award winning website that serves as a resource for parents,
community members, and educators. Parent and community support are paramount
at PBL. The PBL Education Foundation has worked to raise an unprecedented
$227,000.00 in order to acquire and distribute resources for enhancing
or supplementing the educational programs for all learners at PBL. Students
and staff at PBL are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities
that impact our communities. PBL's partnerships with programs such as
Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Special Olympics, and Paxton Park District's
youth athletic program provide excellent volunteer opportunities. PBL's
dedicated, professional faculty, highly trained, committed staff, parents,
students and community members collaborate to build and foster a safe
and secure culture of high expectations, respect, and excellence.
Together, we are PBL!
