On this day each year, the nation celebrates the incredible Food Service staff who work tirelessly every day to ensure students receive the nutrition they need to succeed in their academic day.
Did you know that School Lunch Hero Day was created in 2013 by Jarrett Krosoczka, a children’s author and illustrator? It's a day to honor and recognize the hard work and dedication of the individuals who prepare and serve nutritious meals to students in schools nationwide.
From preparing and cooking to serving and cleaning, these amazing heroes go above and beyond to ensure every student has access to healthy and delicious meals. They are truly our schools' unsung heroes, and we are so grateful for everything they do. 🥇
So join Champaign Unit 4 in thanking all of the School Lunch Heroes out there! Your hard work and dedication make a difference in students' lives every day. You truly are superheroes in our eyes!

During Women’s History Month, we want to recognize Champaign Unit 4’s first female superintendent, Dr. Judy Wiegand. While the District had “acting” female superintendents prior to 2012, Dr. Wiegand is the first one appointed by the Board of Education.
Dr. Wiegand began her career in Unit 4 in 1987 as a special education teacher. She also served as Dean of Students, Assistant Principal and Principal of Centennial High School, as well as Director of Secondary Education, and Assistant Superintendent for Achievement and Pupil Services before being named Superintendent in 2012.
During Dr. Wiegand’s tenure as Superintendent, she oversaw the planning and passage of the 2016 building projects referendum, bringing much-needed upgrades to seven of our schools and other important projects that positively impacted our students and community.
Since her appointment in 2012, Unit 4 Schools has been led by a female in the superintendent’s role. We salute Dr. Wiegand for being a trailblazing leader.
We honor all the women who have served and are currently serving in our District for their diligent work to help enrich the lives of our students and community as a whole.
Reminder: Returning student 1st through 12th grade registration is now open. All Kindergarten registration will be open at a later date.
Dr. Boozer featured in the News-Gazette's eight-page special section celebrating Women’s History Month today. You can read her self-reflection in this post below:
