In 2020 the enrollment was about 1,400. That year, the district was determining the internet statuses of families during the COVID-19 pandemic in Illinois, which disrupted in person education and required an internet-based education for a period. In 2023 the district began using the Affordable Internet Program to allow families of students to obtain internet service which had a cost lower than the standard cost.
In 2023 the district was searching for a superintendent. Robert Beskow of the Hometown Register stated that "many in the community airing their frustrations" when the board of trustees did not select Amy Dixon, a principal and administrator, for the position; Beskow described her as "a popular choice". By November, of that year Dixon became the superintendent of Harrisburg Unit District 3.
