Building History
This middle school building was originally built in 1927 as the high school. When the current high school was built in 1957, the middle grades, 6-8, were moved into the building.
School Closing Notifications
In addition to the TV and radio notifications of school closings, the district is also participating in the txtAlert program being offered by Sauk Valley Newspapers. With txtAlert, you can get school closings and other emergency information sent to you as a text message to your cell phone. To receive these notifications, you will need to sign up using this link to textcaster.com or you may go to saukvalley.com and look for the txtAlerts link at the top of the page. This is a free service provided by Sauk Valley Newspapers, but you may wish to check with your wireless provider for any additional text message fees they may charge.
