Fisher Community Unit School District 1 is a unified school district located in the village of Fisher, Champaign County, Illinois. Fisher Community Unit School District 1, a district of just under 700 students,[2] is composed of two schools: one consolidated elementary and middle school, and one consolidated junior and senior high school.
It includes Fisher and Dewey.[3]
History
The district's first school were constructed in 1885 on the present site of the high school at a cost of $5000.00 USD, and it was known as Fisher Grade and High School until the construction of the present grade school in 1914 separated the grades and created a greater sense of efficiency in the district.[4] The creation of Fisher Grade and High School in 1885 obsoleted the twenty-three one room schoolhouses that dominated the region of Champaign County at the time.[5]
School structure
The first branch of education that can be taken in District 1 will be taken in Fisher Grade School, a school that serves first through sixth graders alongside kindergartners.[6] Education is continued and completed at Fisher Junior/Senior High School, which builds on the education of those attending on grades seventh through twelfth.[7]
Extracurricular activities
The junior senior high school sports a quizbowl team, and student volunteers perform a play yearly before their classmates.[8] It also sports a student council, a yearbook committee known as "Echo," and a mathematics club, among others.
