Unified Champion School® Impact Stories

Central DeWitt Community Schools is a supporter of Special Olympics Unified Sports. Unified Sports are sports that are inclusive of students of ALL ABILITIES. Central DeWitt Intermediate and Middle School was recognized as a 2024 National Banner School for the work that their staff and students are doing to help all students feel welcome and accepted.

A Special Olympics Unified Champion School has an inclusive school climate and exudes a sense of collaboration, engagement and respect for all members of the student body and staff. A Unified Champion School receiving national banner recognition is one that has demonstrated commitment to inclusion by meeting 10 national standards of excellence. These standards were developed by a national panel of leaders from Special Olympics and the education community.

The primary activities within these standards include:

Unified Sports (where students with and without disabilities train and compete as teammates)
