History

Stockton High School in Stockton, Illinois, has remained an independent institution throughout its history, with no recent consolidations into its current form. While many rural schools in Illinois underwent consolidation during the 20th century, Stockton High School has largely maintained its autonomy, serving as the primary educational facility for the Stockton community. Historical records suggest that while surrounding communities may have once had their own high schools, these have either closed or were integrated into other districts long before recent decades. The school’s longstanding role in the community highlights its importance as a stable and central educational institution in Jo Daviess County. ^{[8] [9]} Potential reference/citation: ^{[6] [10]}
