    Scholarship. Citizenship. Leadership. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1, 2020 Hononegah to Submit Proposal for Rock Valley College Advanced Technology Center Project Hononegah Community High School Board votes to respond to Rock Valley College’s Request for Proposal. Rockton, Roscoe, and South Beloit leaders sign on in support. Rockton, IL—May 1: Building on the success of its architectural award-winning Fieldhouse, ​ Hononegah Community High School District #207 (HCHS) will submit a proposal to build the Rock Valley College Advanced Technology Center on land owned by the school district. The Hononegah Board of Education authorized submission of the proposal by unanimous vote at its meeting Wednesday night. If their proposal is chosen, Hononegah plans to partner with Ringland-Johnson Construction to build a state-of-the-art facility. The Board reviewed renderings of what the facility may look like, but the design has not been finalized. HCHS and Ringland-Johnson worked together on the Hononegah Fieldhouse which opened in April 2019. Hononegah is proposing that the facility be constructed west of the high school on its vacant property that was once the site of the Rockton Grade School. The property, which served generations of students in Rockton, would once again become an educational center for the community. The location is central to the Stateline area and is accessible from I-90, Illinois Route 251, Illinois Route 2 and Illinois Route 75 for students coming from the greater Rockford area. Rockton Village President Dale Adams, Roscoe Village President Mark Szula and South Beloit Mayor Ted Rehl are all backing the proposal. In a letter, the three community leaders expressed their “unified and unconditional support of the Hononegah Community High School District’s proposal to bring the Advanced Technology Center to the northern part of our county.” The Stateline Chamber of Commerce and numerous area businesses and industries have also sent letters of support.
