Superintendent's Welcome

We are looking forward to another great school year. We strongly believe that we have some outstanding young people who have the potential to do great things in life as our students. Sangamon Valley C.U.S.D. #9 also has some of the best teachers and staff that can be found in any school in Central Illinois. Additionally, we have building principals who are strong educational leaders and have a desire for a high level of success for the children who attend classes on our campuses.

Our families reside within the 110 square mile area surrounding Harristown, Niantic, and Illiopolis. Anyone visiting our towns will see that small town America is alive and well. Those living in our towns will be seen taking evening strolls, watching their children and/or grandchildren play in community softball/baseball games, or attending an activity or event sponsored by our school system. Past graduates of Sangamon Valley will attest to the fact that, being raised in a small town, doesn’t restrict a person to small dreams. Many success stories can be written by doctors, business people, farmers, and an array of other professions who all started in our towns.

We are proud of our little towns and our school district. If you have questions about our educational programming, please feel free to contact any of our building principals. Mrs. Reedy at Harristown Elementary School (963-2621), Mrs. Hawkins at Illiopolis Elementary School (486-7521), Mr. Field at Sangamon Valley Middle School (486-2241), or Mr. Meadows at Sangamon Valley High School (668-2392). We would gladly welcome you as part of our Sangamon Valley family.

Ernie Fowler, Superintendent
