Thornton Fractional Township High School District 215, more commonly known as T.F. District 215, is composed of two high schools, the supplementary Center for Academics and Technology, and the Center for Alternative Learning. [1] The reference of 'Fractional' in the district's and school names originates not from a person, but from the district being created in 1926 out of a "fractional" portion of Thornton Township from the Thornton Township High School District 205 serving the township's remainder. [2]
Because of their long names, among administrators and students alike, they are commonly referred to as T.F. North, T.F. South, and the CAT and CAL Centers.
