History

It was originally known as the Lake Street School District 20 and was established in Bloomingdale on October 4, 1887, with a one-room schoolhouse. It initially had one teacher and nine students between the ages of 5 and 12. In 1914 Lake Street School received its first multi-room building. The first recorded instance of the school having a second teacher was in 1941. There were 35 students in 1949 and about 100 by 1964. [3]

By 1950 the district received its current name; its namesake is real estate developer Albert F. Keeney (1872-1950), who originated from Iowa and subdivided several area plots in 1932. He and his family donated money and signage to the Lake Street School. [3]

In 1951 the district installed a gymnasium and an additional classroom at the Lake Street School, and in 1965 four extra classrooms, additional restrooms, a storage room, a boiler, and a teacher lounge were added. Newer facilities later replaced the Lake Street School and was eventually demolished. [3]

The schools include: Spring Wood Middle School in Hanover Park, Greenbrook Elementary School in Hanover Park, Waterbury Elementary School in Roselle, and Early Childhood Center in Hanover Park.
