The family and friends of Aaron Jones will be gathering to celebrate his life on Sunday, August 11 at 2pm on Victory Field, and they’d be honored if you’d join them. Mr. Jones graduated from Sullivan High School in 2016, where he participated in the band program and earned the title of Drum Major for the Marching Redskins. Mr. Jones continued his education at EIU where he pursued music and once again earned the title of Drum Major. Mr. Jones returned to his hometown when he was hired as the Band Director and Music Teacher at Sullivan High School in 2022. He showed a passion for music and a love for working with the students. He displayed tremendous pride in his community and in being a part of Sullivan Schools. We are fortunate to have had Mr. Jones as part of the Sullivan Schools family. The family requests casual dress; if you are able, please wear apparel supporting Sullivan High School, Eastern Illinois University, or the SHS band program. If you would like more details on Mr. Jones service, a link to the full obituary is included below.

SHS FCCLA would like to provide their Summer Spotlight to all of our Sullivan 300 Summer Maintenance, Custodial, and Summer student workers for all of their diligent and dedicated work to prepare the schools and facilities for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year! Thanks in part to generous community donations and community support of our fundraisers throughout the year, we were able to provide these fantastic people with an IGA lunch to show our appreciation. These workers are an integral part of why Sullivan CUSD 300 is such an amazing district with top notch facilities, and we are grateful that we could celebrate them with a much deserved meal!
