Booker T. Washington Elementary School is a school in the City of Champaign as part of the Champaign Unit 4 Schools. The school was built in the 1950s, and re-built in 2010-2011. The Booker T. Washington has an integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum.  The STEM Academy opened in 2011 after the two year renovation.  Prior to renovation the school was home to a mural about Booker T. Washington.

The school's mission is: "We empower students to think critically, reflectively, and apply their knowledge and skills to a greater context. Students experience unique opportunities for STEM education with rigorous and relevant hands-on investigations through inquiry-based instruction, integrated curriculum, and collaboration."

More information on the school is to be found at the school's website.
