History

Palatine High School was founded in 1875, the first public high school in what are now the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Its operation was reorganized into a modern school district in 1914, and in 1928 the high school built its first dedicated school building. It served the entirety of Palatine Township as a public high school, and also admitted paying students from neighboring Schaumburg Township.

In the 1950s, rising enrollments due to suburban expansion and the baby boom caused many changes. Palatine High School's district formally expanded to include Schaumburg Township, two additions were built in rapid succession, and additional school buildings were built in the southwest part of Palatine (William Fremd High School) and in Hoffman Estates (James B. Conant High School). The student distribution changed as Fremd served as a school for freshmen and sophomores while Palatine High School served juniors and seniors.

The current three-story facility was completed in 1977, and a second gymnasium was built in 1997. [12]

In 2003 a new math and foreign language wing was built. This new three-story wing included 24 new classrooms and activity areas, and added 46,500 square feet (4,320 m2) to the existing building. [13]

In the summer of 2009, Palatine's Chic Anderson Stadium was installed with an artificial turf for nearly $1.5 million. [14]

On November 30, 2017, transgender Palatine High School senior Nova Maday filed a lawsuit against District 211 with the help of the ACLU and a Chicago law firm. She alleged that the district had discriminated against her by denying her full use of the girls' locker room. [15]

Academics

All schools in District 211 have been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools; PHS's is the oldest accreditation in the district, dating back to April 1, 1935. [10]

PHS is not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as a part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act because multiple sub groups within the student population failed to meet minimum standards. [7] 2008 also marks the third year the school has been on academic watch. [7]

In 2008, Palatine High School had an average composite ACT score of 22.1. [7] 92.3% of the class of 2008 graduated. [7]

Applied Technology Department

PHS maintains a comprehensive applied technology department with classes such as Computer-Aided Design, Small Engines, Automotives, Home Construction, Woodshop, Metals, and a Plastics course when demand is large enough. Recently, the Applied Technology Department has brought in "Project Lead the Way" Courses: Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics, and Civil Engineering and Architecture to further bolster the classes offered to students. These classes are all engineering based curriculum that offer the possibility for students to earn some college credit. PHS is certified through Harper College to teach certain classes that count towards credit for receiving an apprenticeship with a Master Electrician. There is also a computer repair class that is certified through the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) where students that pass the qualification exam receive an A+ Certification, demonstrating competency as a computer technician.

Demographics

In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 2,652 students. 51% of students identified as Hispanic or Latino, 34% were non-Hispanic white, 7% were Asian-American, 6% were black or African-American, and 3% were multiracial. The school has a student to teacher ratio of 14.1, and 58% of students are eligible for free or reduced price lunch. [16]

Awards

PHS has twice received the U. S. Department of Education's Blue Ribbon Award, once in the 1992–1993 school year, and again in 1999–2000. [17]

In 2000, PHS was one of few high schools named a New American High School. The award, last given in 2000, was given to schools which serve as "model" schools based on innovation. [18]

PHS was selected as an Outstanding American High School by receiving a Silver Medal from U.S. News & World Report magazine. [19]

In 2008, the school was ranked 1157 in the annual Newsweek magazine top 1,300 high schools in America. [20] The school had previous been ranked in 2007 (1204) and 2005 (992). [20]

Activities

PHS currently offers over 80 extracurricular activities for students to participate in. [21]

Varsity Flag Team

Additionally, they have been the Overall Flag Division State Champions, having scored the highest of all the teams that competed with a flag routine. They compete through Team Dance Illinois. [22] [23] [24]

Band

The PHS band has been to numerous states across the US, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Canada, and twice to London, England. [25]

The band represented the state of Illinois in the WWII Memorial Dedication Parade in Washington, D.C., in May 2004. [12]

In 2005 thirteen members of the PHS band were cast as extras in the World War II movie, Flags of Our Fathers directed by Clint Eastwood. The scene they were in was shot at Glencoe Train Station in Glencoe, Illinois. [26]

In 2007 thirty members of the band were cast to portray the Syracuse University Marching Band in the movie The Express: The Ernie Davis Story . The scene was filmed at Ryan Field on the Northwestern University campus. The movie stars were Dennis Quaid and Rob Brown. [27]

In 2010 the band played at the White House staff Christmas party, after the PHS choir turned down the invitation to return due to prior engagements. Instead, choir director, Steve Sivak, suggested that the band should play. [28]
