The Eldon Mustangs "Eldon R-1 School District" has been a cornerstone of the community since 1907! The district was founded on the belief that every child in Eldon deserves a high-quality education close to home. Their mission remains: providing rigorous learning, relevant applications, and meaningful relationships.
Eldon is home of the Mustangs, known for their strong academic programs, award-winning "Marching Mustangs, and successful athletic programs that foster deep community pride.
Their motto is "Together We Rise". They don't just teach - they partner with the city and local businesses. Example of this that the Building Trades student actually served as general contractors for the local Rock Island Depot and Chamber of Commerce offices, as well some housing projects. There are many other opportunities that students get involved in the community with the assortment of clubs.
They engage through the Eldon Community Foundation and programs like LEAP. they bridge the gaps between school and home, they also host community events.
Their team values the family atmosphere. Whether its in the classroom or on the sidelines, staff is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to support the growth of the whole child - academically, socially, and emotionally.
The Eldon School District has several inductees in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Also, the Eldon School District is ranked among the best districts in the State!
As the 2025/2026 school year comes to an end, the Eldon Chamber and the Eldon Community would like to thank our school district for being great supporters and leaders in our community and its growth!
