History When Belleville Township High School was erected in 1917, it had two buildings — the Main Building and the Cafeteria-Shops Building. At this time there was a faculty of sixteen teachers, under the leadership of Mr. H. G. Schmidt. The enrollment of the school was 348 students, with a graduating class of 27. In 1918, the present Girl’s Gym, which was origi¬ nally intended for the hoys’ athletic program, was built. The present Field House was built in 1936 because of overcrowded conditions at the time. As the years passed and the enrollment increased, the need for a larger campus increased too. Thus, in 1924, our fine arts center, the auditorium, was erected. This was followed nine years later by the construction of the Library Building which houses the English and Social Studies Departments, in addition to the study hall and the library itself. In the spring of 1955 the people of Belleville provided for another great change on the campus by passing a $2,800,000 bond issue for the erection of an Electric Shop Building, a new Cafeteria, Library, and additions to both the Girls’ and Boys’ Gymna¬ siums. The Electric Shop has been completed and construction of the other buildings is in process. Thus exactly fortv years after the initial ground¬ breaking ceremony at BTHS, the school, with an approximate enrollment of 2,000 students, and a faculty of 85 instructors, headed by Superintendent Hal O. Hall, once again takes a great step forward in its growth to keep pace with its duty — the education of the vouth of Belleville. “Of education ... I ca ' n only say that view it as the most important subject it we as a people can be engaged in.” —Abraham Lincoln
