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 Buckley, Clarence,
Loda, Paxton, and Roberts and includes the two large distinctive subdivisions
of Bayles Lake and Lake Iroquois, just to the west of Loda. It encompasses
parts of the five counties of Champaign, Ford, Iroquois, Livingston,
and Vermilion.
PBL includes a total enrollment of approximately 1500 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 its 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, and 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 $158,000 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 highly-trained professional staff along
with committed parents, students and supportive communities collaborate
to build and foster a safe and secure culture of high expectations,
respect, and excellence.
Together, We are PBL!
