"We are proud, Decatur Proud, to make this list of 200 promising practices. Both Decatur Middle School and the Decatur Township School for Excellence have undergone changes in the last few school years. We know that we are changing for the better, and it is exciting to be recognized on a State level for the positive work these schools are doing. I would invite any community member to come visit these schools to see these promising practices in action." - said Dr. Prusiecki, Superintendent of Decatur Township Schools.
IDOE Promising Practices are student-centered and focus on positively impacting students through innovative programming and activities that provide a high-quality learning environment and experience.
