Superintendent Message
2024-2025

Dear Urbana City Schools Community,

On behalf of the Board of Education and our entire staff, I am thrilled to welcome you to the new
school year! Whether you are a returning family or new to our district, we are honored that you
have chosen Urbana City Schools for your child's education.

As Superintendent, my top priority is ensuring that every student feels safe, supported, and
challenged to reach their full potential. Our talented and dedicated team of educators are
committed to providing a world-class education that prepares our students for success in college,
careers, and beyond.

We believe in the power of partnerships to drive student achievement. We look forward to
collaborating with families and our broader community to create an enriching and inclusive
learning environment. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher, building
principal, or district office if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year.

Let's make this a year to remember! Our students are capable of amazing things, and together, we
can help them soar.

With gratitude and excitement for the year ahead,

Charles Thiel Superintendent, Urbana City Schools
