History

The high school was established in 2004 due to the growing population in Oswego, Illinois. A three-story central commons serves as the school’s social nexus and as a community event room. Adjoining the commons are a theater and performing-arts wing, a sports complex that houses two gyms, a 220-meter track, a competition pool, dance room, exercise rooms, a community meeting room with adjacent commercial kitchen, and two three-story classroom wings.
