Leu Civic Center
The Leu Civic Center has been a vital part of Mascoutah, Illinois, serving as a hub for community engagement, education, and recreation. Originally built in the 1930s, the building first functioned as Mascoutah’s Elementary and High School before transitioning into the civic center it is today in 1978.
Transformation into a Civic Center
After decades as a school, the building was repurposed to serve the broader Mascoutah community. The Leu Civic Center became a space for after-school activities, enrichment programs, and local events, fostering connections among residents. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include homeschool enrichment classes, summer camps, fitness programs, and free community events.
Recent Renovations and Growth
In 2022, the Leu Civic Center underwent a significant remodel, led by new director Jenna Smith. Volunteers from Mascoutah High School, Scott Air Force Base Fire Department, and local organizations contributed to revitalizing the space, ensuring it remained a welcoming environment for learning and recreation.
Community Impact
Today, the Leu Civic Center continues to enrich Mascoutah through art shows, tutoring programs, family events, and athletic opportunities. Its mission remains focused on providing affordable and engaging programs for residents of Mascoutah, Scott Air Force Base, and surrounding communities.
