LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 205 Main Telephone Number 815-588-8000 BOARD OF EDUCATION Dick Ives Lou Ann Johnson Michael Lewandowski Ann Lopez-Caneva Zyan Navarra Veronica Shaw Ed.D. Michael Travis HISTORICAL STATEMENT OF DISTRICT In 1830, the first settlers came to Lockport. On what is now Division Street, just east of Grandview Avenue, the first school classes were held in a log cabin. Although the exact location of this first school house is uncertain, the first village school was built in 1839 on the northeast corner of Eighth and Hamilton Streets. In 1857, the first high school was built. This building, constructed of stone and having a four-sided clock tower on the roof, housed both grade and high school classes. After a fire destroyed the school building on August 10, 1896, classes were held in churches and other temporary buildings until March 1897, when a new school was ready. This combined grade and high school continued until 1909, when Lockport High School was opened. In 1910, the high school was accredited by the North Central Association. Since the time of the dedication, two major additions have been made to the Central High School, one in 1930 and one in 1953. With these additions, the high school has literally grown around the block to Twelfth, Jefferson, Thirteenth, and Madison Streets. In 1963, Lockport West High School opened as a four-year high school, and in 1964, Lockport Township High School - East Campus opened for freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and seniors attended Lockport Township High School - Central Campus, located at Twelfth and Jefferson Streets. Three Lockport High School attendance centers were in School District 205. Included in this district were Lockport and Homer Townships and a small part of DuPage Township; plus the villages of Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Romeoville, and the City of Lockport. In 1971, disannexation took place and District 205 was separated into two districts. The Lockport Central and East campuses remained in District 205. Lockport West High School became District 211. District 205 now consists of Homer Township, part of Lockport Township, and a very small part of DuPage Township. In the spring of 1995, the communities within District 205 passed a $34 million referendum to increase the size of and remodel the interior of Lockport East, renovate selected areas of Lockport Central, and upgrade and expand the technology resources and infrastructure at both campuses. Beginning with the 1997-98 school year, Lockport Township High School - East Campus became the attendance center for sophomores, juniors, and seniors while Lockport Township High School - Central Campus became a Freshman Center. The students and staff of District 205 sincerely appreciate our communities’ continued support for and commitment to quality education.
