The present NCHS structure is on Aurora Avenue just outside the downtown business district in Naperville. The building is within walking distance of the Naperville Riverwalk park/trail network, and is just north of Knoch Park and the Edward Hospital campus. The school is across the street from the historic Naper Settlement.

Naperville High school was established in 1916. [5] The oldest part of the current building, known by some as the "3-Story Wing," was constructed in 1950. [6]

The current Naperville Central building has received building additions in 1955, 1963, 1968, 1987, 1992 and 2009. For the 1992–93 school year, three projects in three independent locations added a Student Services wing in the northeast part of the building (demolished in the summer of 2010 to make way for an addition), an auditorium in the northwest part of the building and a natatorium in the southern part of the building. [7] Prior additions included a field house and renovations to the former student cafeteria area in the late 1980s, the former school library, and a large single-story classroom wing, known as the Flat Wing.

There was an increasing concern about the safety and reliability of Naperville Central. Complaints of lack of building organization, aging infrastructure, and inadequate educational spaces cause it to be the main focus of Naperville School District 203's "Facilities Task Force". [8] After a 59% voter passage of a $43 million referendum, the school underwent a massive renovation to completely renovate approximately 75% of the school's footprint. On the 27th of May, 2009 ground was broken on the renovation. [9] The renovation had the three-story wing undergo a mix of new construction and remodeling in order to house all major subject areas. It also moved and updated the learning resource center, it added physical education and music spaces, it reduced building entrances and put synthetic turf on the football field. At the start of the 2011 school year, renovations were completed, and the school was fully re-opened. [10]

Plagiarism scandal

In 2008, principal Jim Caudill plagiarized a speech he gave to graduating seniors. [11] The speech originally came from Megan Nowicki-Plackett, a teacher at the time who was formerly a student at the school. [12] Earlier in the year, Caudill had fired a newspaper adviser over profanity, which began a free speech debate among the community. [12] The school district ultimately decided to remove Caudill from his principal position and reassign him to oversight of construction during renovations. [13] Caudill was replaced by Bill Wiesbrook the following year. Wiesbrook was hired in 1996 and previously had worked as a dean to students and assistant principal of operations. [14]

Mummy

One of the most notable displays at the school is an Egyptian mummy, also known as "Butch". [15] It is stored in a glass case on the second floor of the school. [16]

The mummy was donated in the 1940s by Naperville Dr. Winifred Martin, where Martin apparently obtained it from a Egyptian curio shop. Martin donated the mummy to the local historical society, which later passed it on to the high school because the mummy had no place among exhibits devoted to local and American history. [16] [17] The mummy was wrapped up and forgotten in an attic at the school until it was accidentally rediscovered by a teacher in 1975. [16] The mummy underwent restoration in the 1990s at the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute.

In 2002, the National Geographic Channel visited the school and featured the school's mummy on an episode of its Mummy Roadshow television series. The mummy dates to approximately 55 BCE. [16]

Demographics

In 2020, 67.0% of the student body identifies as White, 16.6% of the student body identifies as Asian, 8.5% of the student body identifies as Hispanic, 3.9% of the student body identifies as Black, and 4.0% of the student body identifies as another race. [18]

In 2010, the Redhawks achieved fame outside of the playing field, as the NCHS football team appeared in the country singer Kenny Chesney's music video, "The Boys of Fall". [32]

In 2021, the IHSA sanctioned the NCHS football team for violations of its transfer bylaws. The result of this sanction was the forfeiture of NCHS football games encompassing all wins in the 2018–19, 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons, totaling 17 competitions where ineligible players participated. The School accepted full responsibility's for their actions, and implemented revised procedures. Along with the football team, the basketball team also had to forfeit 4 wins in the 2018–19 season due to at least one ineligible player. [33]

Science

The NCHS Science Olympiad Team, founded in 2004, ranked third in the state in 2005 and 2006 and second in state in 2007 and 2008(thus advancing to the national tournament). [34] The Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering Team won the State Championship in 2006, ending rival Naperville North's multiple-year winning streak. [35] In 2009, Central's WYSE team captured first place at the regional competition held at Naperville North. The Varsity Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) TEAMS's team placed first in the nation in 2006; [36] the JV JETS team placed second. In 2009, the Varsity JETS team took 1st place at the regional competition held at IIT (Wheaton Campus), while the JV team took 2nd. [36]

In 2006, four students from NCHS competed in the Toshiba/NSTA Exploravision Competition and were recognized as 2nd Place National Finalist Winners for their design of a Wireless Information Integration network. [37]

The NCHS chess team placed in 10th in 2010 and respectably in 2005 and 2006, and student Dafe Finster was the Individual State Champion in 2005. [38] [39]

Journalism

[40] [41] [42] The CT also tied for first in the 2006 IHSA Journalism State competition as well as maintaining their title in 2010.
