Mascoutah ~ Illinois ~ 62258
Location
Mascoutah, a community of more than 5,000 residents, is four miles southeast of Scott AFB.
Attractions
The community has three parks and a Community Center: Scheve Park, Maple Park, Reservoir Park and Leu Civic Center. Scheve Park has a swimming pool, several baseball diamonds, two lighted tennis courts, a lighted sand volleyball court, lighted horseshoe pits, two soccer fields, six family-sized and four larger pavilions and several playground areas. Maple Park is equipped with outdoor basketball facilities, a ball-playing area, playground equipment and a family-sized pavilion. Reservoir Park has two fishing lakes and a pavilion.
Winter recreational activities are held annually at Leu Civic Center, a United Way Agency, from October 1st to May 30th. This community center houses a gymnasium, large auditorium with stage and kitchen, indoor horseshoe pits and meeting rooms. The center is open for physical fitness, meeting, social and fund-raising activities.
Community
With 21 organizations in town, many volunteers help with local civic projects. Organizations range from scouting programs and civic groups to women's clubs and conservation groups. The Mascoutah Improvement Association sponsors the annual three-day Homecoming and August Fest the first weekend of August. At this affair, many of the local organizations work together for the benefit of the city's park system.
Churches include the Bethel United Methodist Church, First Assembly of God, First Baptist Church, Holy Childhood of Jesus, St. John United Church of Christ, Zion Lutheran and St. Martin of Tours Lutheran Church, Free Will Baptist and Harvest Tabernacle Church.
Summary
This community is probably more directly influenced by Scott AFB than any other nearby town because the base is included in the Mascoutah School District.
The Mascoutah Community Unit School District 19 has an enrollment of more than 3,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Two elementary schools located adjacent to the base and one elementary school in Mascoutah have more than 1,800 students. A junior high and high school make up the bulk of the remaining enrollment. The Holy Childhood of Jesus School also offers academic and religious instruction up to the eighth grade.
