Rooted in a rich local heritage that traces back to the 1750 settlement of Prairie du Pont, Dupo Community Unit School District 196 has been at the heart of our community for generations.

Today, our district serves our families across 3 neighborhood schools focused on academic growth, safety, and school pride. With an excellent teacher retention rate, our classrooms are led by experienced educators who genuinely care about our students' long-term success. Together, our community celebrates a strong graduation rate, launching young adults who are ready to make their mark on the world. We are proud of our history, proud of our schools, and even prouder of our students!
