Central DeWitt School District -

A Destination for Innovative Learning

Our mission is to be a destination that serves all students in an innovative and supportive learning environment and prepares them for life-long success.

We’re a small school district, but that doesn’t stop us from providing big opportunities for our students. With over 100 different academic programs, sports, clubs and organizations, catering to just about every interest, there are endless possibilities to get involved.

And, thanks to our award-winning staff, strong community relationships and post-secondary partnerships, our graduates have everything they need to succeed.

At Central DeWitt Community School District, we help our students reach their full potential by encouraging exploration, promoting academic excellence, fostering positive self-esteem, and supporting community involvement. 

We believe this provides a strong foundation of both academics and social skills that enables them to be productive and successful citizens.

The district prides itself in keeping up with the ever changing face of technology. Every student in grades 4-12 is provided a MacBook, while students in grades Preschool-3rd are 1:1 with an iPad. Every classroom is equipped with the necessary devices to deliver instruction in person and remotely, should the need arise. For more information click here.

At Central DeWitt, 90% of our middle school and high school students participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Not only have we proven ourselves to be tough competitors in several sports, but we also have over 30 award-winning clubs and organizations in which students can participate.
