About Us :

The Fairfield Community School District is located in the southeastern portion of Elkhart County. The corporation, which was formed in 1963, is a combination of Jackson, Benton, and Clinton Townships. An elected five member Board of Education governs the district.

Elkhart County is one of the major manufactured housing, recreational vehicle, and boating industry centers of the United States. The district is only minutes away from the Northern Chain of Lakes, which offers fishing, swimming, boating, and other recreational sports.

The corporation is made up of a wide range of economic and ethnic backgrounds. Since it is in a rural setting, many families make their living farming. Many others are involved in manufacturing and/or small business. We also have a large settlement of Amish families and conservative Mennonite families that bring many rich traditions to our school-community. All of these groups are most supportive of their schools and are actively involved in school activities.
