Wredling Middle School company history timeline

1830

In St Charles, residents did raise money by subscription to build a small school on East Main between North Second and Third Avenues and a frame school on the northeast corner of Cedar and Fourth Avenues in the 1830’s, but these schools were not tax supported.

1850

Prior to the 1850’s, there were no public, tax-supported schools to serve the St Charles area.

1854

Since 1854 St Charles High School has been a continuing source of strength and pride in our community.

The West Side School, a brick building on the southeast corner of Illinois and Fifth Streets, was built in 1854 by Seth Marvin at a cost of $6,000 to serve the students in District 8.

1856

In 1856 the brick East Side School was built at a cost of $15,000 to serve the students of District 7.

1914

Edward J. Baker contributed $30,000 to the construction of the building, and additional money came from a trust fund which the school district received from Haines at his death in 1914.

1920

Each school had four rooms to serve grades one through eight and an additional room for students in the high school program. It is during this period that one begins to find references to a high school, as in “East St Charles High School.” By the 1920’s the Haines School was crowded and expanded facilities were needed.

1926

To meet the enrollment needs, a new high school building on the southwest corner of Seventh and Main Streets, property which had also been donated by Charles Haines, was dedicated on March 12, 1926.

1949

High School District 150, Elementary District 87 and Little Woods District 79 were consolidated through a referendum in 1949 to form Community Unit District 303.

1950

In 1950 Illinois abolished two-year high school programs and the residents covered by the Wasco two-year program voted to consolidate with St Charles High School.

1955

By 1955, it was necessary for the voters to approve a referendum for $825,000 for an addition to the high school.

1959

The new science wing, which was dedicated on May 24, 1959, was recognized as one of the top facilities of its kind in the nation.

1973

Dunham Junior High School, a building with open classrooms arranged around the library, was dedicated on the site in 1973.

1977

St Charles High School moved to the Dunham Road site north of Route 64 in 1977.

1994

In spite of the space limitations, St Charles High School was recognized nationally for excellence as a National Blue Ribbon School of 1994-96 by the United States Department of Education.

1995

The North Building on the Dunham campus opened in 1995.

2001

In April of 2001 students and staff were relocated to share the facilities on the campus of North High School, due to the unexpected closing of East because of environmental concerns.

For the 2001-02 school year St Charles East was temporarily housed at Wredling Middle School with the addition of 44 mobile classrooms and offices.
