About Us

On behalf of the Board of Education, Administration, staff, and students, I would like to welcome you to Marissa Community Unit School District #40 where we believe that every child has the potential to learn and become a productive citizen. Within the past five years, both faculty/staff and students in both buildings have earned state or national recognition. In 2007 and 2009, Marissa Jr High School was recognized as a Bronze Emblem School by the U.S News and Report and the Elementary earned a Spot Light Award from the Illinois State Board of Education in 2009.
