Facilities
Here at Effingham Unit 40 Schools, we continually look to improve our 10 facilities to keep them functional and attractive for sustainability. A key part to our success is the 22 person custodial staff and 4 maintenance employees that take pride in making Unit 40 a clean, well maintained, and desirable place to work and learn. We are always looking for new ideas and ways to improve.
