Quincy Public Schools is a large unified school district based in Quincy, Illinois, in west central Illinois, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Its mission centers on educating both students and teachers to achieve personal excellence, with more than 6,500 students enrolled across its campuses. The district operates a PreK/Head Start program, multiple K-3 elementary schools, an intermediate for grades 4-5, a junior high for 6-8, and a high school for 9-12, a configuration shaped by a multiyear facilities program following a 2014 bond referendum. The district provides a standards-aligned curriculum that includes AP courses at the high school, Project Lead the Way in grades 7-12, accelerated options in select grades, and STEM education spanning K-12. Technology-enabled blended learning is supported by community partnerships and the Quincy Public Schools Foundation, with recent collaborations such as a partnership with Quincy College to host an ECHS Pathway Symposium. In leadership and extracurriculars, two schools have achieved Lighthouse status and two are on the path to attaining it, complementing music and athletic programs across campuses.
