Did you know? When you shop in other counties, you may already be contributing to their local schools. Every county that neighbors Tazewell, including McLean, Peoria, Fulton, Logan, Woodford, and Mason, have already implemented a dedicated sales tax to invest in their schools. Now, Tazewell County will decide if the same tax is implemented here.
If approved, the proposed County Schools Facility Tax will provide funding for security upgrades and facility improvements to ensure buildings meet current learning and safety standards, as well as mental health supports for students.
Learn more about how this request could impact students, staff and our school community by attending our upcoming community information night or visiting tazewellonecent.info, or contacting us directly.

It's HOMECOMING! And we have a great game for you tonight. Avoid the long lines, and buy your tickets ahead of time:

Survey of FACS students are getting creative in our Interior Design unit by creating their own color wheels! Students explored color relationships and learned how colors work together to create beautiful, balanced spaces (and delicious snacks!).
