History

The first school serving the Elmhurst area was the Churchville Schoolhouse in modern Bensenville. The schoolhouse was built by local farmers and craftsman circa 1850, and was used until 1930. The school was attended by students from Bensenville, Addison, and Elmhurst. [5]

In 1995 a school bond of $15 million was proposed. [6] In 1993 the district had 6,173 students, and Emerson School had rented church facilities for excess students. [7]

Build D205

In November 2018 a $168.5 million referendum was passed to make improvements to District buildings. The referendum included safety and security improvements, as well as other general improvements, and providing space for all day kindergarten

The district has already completed creating Media centers from libraries at Edison, Emerson, Fischer, Jackson, and Bryan schools, HVAC improvements at Edison, Fischer, Jackson, Jefferson, York, Bryan, and Sandburg schools. The district has also improved safety at many schools and made other site improvements like improved play and sports spaces, as well as improved parking lots

The district is currently working on improvements to stage and orchestra facilities at York, and is also working on improving Churchville and Hawthorne schools.

Carl August Sandburg was an American poet, biographer, journalist, and editor. He won three Pulitzer Prizes: two for his poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln. During his lifetime, Sandburg was widely regarded as "a major figure in contemporary literature", especially for volumes of his collected verse, including Chicago Poems (1916), Cornhuskers (1918), and Smoke and Steel (1920). He enjoyed "unrivaled appeal as a poet in his day, perhaps because the breadth of his experiences connected him with so many strands of American life". When he died in 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson observed that "Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius. He was America."
